A long thin image with a list of icons outlining the benefits the framework offers.

Highlights

  • Access to the best technology and solutions in the market irrespective of OEM

In response to challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, winter pressures, and a shortage of specialised clinical staff, the Clinical Neutral Vendor Managed Services framework addresses the critical priority of reducing the backlog of patients awaiting treatment.

This framework provides a comprehensive suite of core and support services, delivered either in-trust or externally, aiming to decrease referral-to-treatment waiting times and enhance patient care. Awarded as a single lot, the framework encompasses fully managed clinical services, both outsourced and insourced, from proven suppliers with expertise across a diverse range of clinical and ancillary services. Services offered adhere to the highest industry standards, empowering customers to treat patients within their local communities.
