Five separate lots are available: Lot 1 (Stoma Prescription Service), Lot 2 (Catheter Prescription Service), Lot 3 (Combined Stoma and Catheter Service), Lot 4 (Stoma Pre- and Post-Operative Care Support), and Lot 5 (Combined Catheter and Stoma Support). New providers may be added during the framework term; existing appointed providers are not required to reapply. All lots are evaluated using identical criteria: Social Value (pass/fail, 10%), Commercial Value (25%), Quality and Innovation (30%), Integration and Collaboration (25%), and Improving Access and Reducing Health Inequalities (10%). This notice is made under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and does not fall under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or Procurement Regulations 2024.
