Intestinal failure (IF) comprises a group of disorders with many different causes, all of which are characterised by an inability to maintain adequate nutrition via the intestines. It results from obstruction, abnormal motility, major surgical resection, congenital defect or disease-associated loss of absorption. It is characterised not only by the inability to maintain protein-energy, but also often in difficulties in maintaining water, electrolyte or micronutrient balance, particularly when there has been a major loss of length of the small bowel. If it persists for more than a few days it demands treatment with the intravenous delivery of nutrients and water (parenteral nutrition or PN). The ITT is divided in to lots and bidders are invited to respond to either one of the following lots (please note that bidders are not able to bid for both): • Section 2: To provide services for Type II and Type III patients • Section 3: To provide services for Type III patients only AND the mandatory Section 1.
