It is recognised within the NHS that occupational exposure to Nitrous Oxide, through patient use of pain relief methods, can cause health issues for those staff working in that environment. Some NHS environments will predate current design guidance and have insufficient air changes ventilation/scavenging such that occupational time exposure limits could be exceeded. As such, NHS Supply Chain are seeking innovative option(s) that both reduces occupational exposure whilst ensuring that Nitrous Oxide is not released into the environment due to it being recognised as a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. Through the use of the RFI, potential suppliers will be able to provide detail on their proposed product solution to the issue which will shape the future approach that NHS Supply Chain will take in ensuring that these options are available throughout the NHS. Current indicative volumes / Contract Values would be unknown as those would be based upon the responses received. Please note, following the return of the RFI, NHS Supply Chain reserves the right to contact responding suppliers with clarifications that they may have in relation to the proposed product/solution to enable full understanding. Additionally, please note that this PIN is for market engagement purposes only and NHS Supply Chain provides no guarantees via this PIN of any subsequent tendering activity or purchase of any solution offered. Instructions on how to submit a response to the RFI are listed within the Additional Information section.
