Hutt Valley District Health Board ("Hutt Valley DHB") is seeking proposals from interested suppliers in response to our requirement to establish a Master Framework Panel Agreement for Leased Hospital Equipment & Services

Delivery and collection of equipment from our community based patients who live in the Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt areas of Wellington is also a requirement and part of the overall services.

Once the Master Framework Panel Agreement is in-force; it will operate as a 'closed' panel.

This is an opportunity for suppliers to be part of a panel established to provide our patients with equipment that will meet their needs and which is designed to assist with our patient’s recovery and rehabilitation at our hospital or within the community via home based care.

By establishing a framework agreement, we are providing our patients with a duty of care, ensuring their wellbeing is taken care of appropriately.

For those suppliers appointed to the panel, a secondary procurement process will be utilised to award opportunities. Suppliers acknowledge that being a member of the panel does not guarantee any particular volume of work.

The Panel Agreement will be for an initial period of three (3) years with provision for two subsequent rights-of-renewal, each for an additional period of two (2) years (3+2+2).

Questions are encouraged and you may request that they are kept confidential providing that they are commercially sensitive. Hutt Valley DHB reserves the right to provide supplementary information to all Tenderers should a confidential question highlight a point requiring clarification to other Tenderers.

The estimated commencement date of the panel will be in February/March 2020. Hutt Valley DHB reserves the right to amend this timeframe at any time.

All enquiries regarding this tender must be in writing.
