Why this framework matters to you
The Emergency Medical Consumables and Equipment framework agreement is a further iteration of the previous framework agreement known as Minor Medical Equipment Consumables and Associated Parts let by East of England NHS Collaborative Procurement Hub.
The name change is borne out of the need to provide a link to Ambulance service delivery and defining the scope of medical consumables and their link to the National Load list. This framework agreement defined the in-scope categories of spend using a subcategory approach. A database has been created for use by users of the framework agreement. Users will be able to search for items, suppliers and product codes.
