Where competative exercises are carried out against a Framework Contract, which could be managed by CCS, HTE or a number of other public authorities Cool-off Agreements are in effect contracts between the Trust or organisation and the provider. These include, but are not resticted to:-
- Legal Services
- Travel & Accommodation (Redfern)
- Case Notes Folders
- Events & Conference Booking (Calder)
- Printing Services
- LPT Travel & Hotel Services
- Agency Nursing Staff
All Document Printing has to go through a competitive quotation exercise before a Purchase Order can be raised.
Three quotations are required in total and one of the quotations must come from NHS Shared Business Services.
However If the Document is already on the NHS Shared Business Services Rate list then the requisition can be raised directly to them.
Procurement can do the quotation exercise for you - please contact Chris Blake on 0116 2950432 or Matthew Buxton on 0116 2950442 for details of the process.
If you are happy to do the exercise yourself please can find a list of suggested printers Here
