Certain products within this framework agreement are classified as high-cost tariff excluded devices under the NHS England Specialised Services Devices Programme (SSDP) (formerly known as the High-Cost Tariff-Excluded Devices programme). Trusts who are commissioned to provide specialised services in England are directed to purchase all their SSDP requirements through a national supply route via NHS Supply Chain. Details of the product categories currently within scope of the NHS England Specialised Service Devices Page 6 to 15 Programme (SSDP), can be found using the following link: [england.nhs.uk](https://www.england.nhs.uk/commissioning/spec-services/key-docs/medical-devices/) In accordance with the specialised services commissioning policy, NHS Improvement and NHS England will determine which products are classified as excluded from tariff and which are made available under the NHS England Specialised Service Devices Programme (SSDP). Whilst it is anticipated that initial expenditure under any forthcoming procurement will be in the region of 960,000,000 GBP, this is approximate only and the values will be to such level as those purchasing under the framework agreement consider necessary to provide suitable requirements. NHS Supply Chain expects to provide successful suppliers with the opportunity to offer additional savings to customers through the provision of discounted pricing, value added offerings and commitment/bulk buy initiatives. The framework agreement will be between NHS Supply Chain and the awarded supplier(s). Under the framework agreement there will be 2 different methods of supply - one for non-direct contract products and one for direct contract products. For direct contract products the supplier will be required to report to and pay a direct contract management fee to NHS Supply Chain as detailed in the tender documents. NHS Supply Chain is currently considering the use of lots for this procurement. However, it reserves the right not to as part of any future tender process. Further information in respect of the lot strategy will be set out in the notice for the forthcoming procurement.
