Description
"Managed Equipment Services enables Trusts to enter into a service contract that provides new equipment, incorporates existing equipment, includes maintenance to decrease down-time, increase safety, reduce risk ensuring routine maintenance that may otherwise be difficult to manage and isn't always done by Trusts due to capacity, capability, limited resource/processes to manage. The contract helps manage the lifecycle of equipment and spreads the cost of funding innovation through new and replacement equipment. It ensures contracts entered into are fit for purpose, compliant and flexible to accommodate the changing needs of a Trust. A tried and tested framework offers security to Trusts that an award can be made and offers the incentive to suppliers to bid as they know contracts will be awarded. The framework provides procurement expertise and structure to complex procurements that can range in term upto 20 years with values from £10m plus Framework covers the following Lots. 1.
