Lot Division

1 Supply of Goods and Distribution

The scope for this lot is for any products that fall within the listed CPV code above and respective child codes that a tenderer will have the ability to provide to a Participating Authority including pharmaceuticals. The provision is for tenderers to confirm their ability to distribute/stock/manage an agreed portfolio on behalf of the Participating Authority. This will provide a ‘one stop shop’ for participating authorities that meets all of their requirements. The interested tenderers must have a national distribution service with warehouse, or distribution centres, located across the country to service the customer needs on time. Note that the interested tenderers are asked to provide such a proof. The tenderers are also expected to have a fleet of vehicles at their disposal to facilitate the delivery of goods from their warehouse/distribution centre and the Participating Authority’s site(s). TERMS AND CONDITIONS / ACTIVITY BASED INCOME (ABI) The terms and conditions of this Agreement and any resulting call-off contract is appended to the ITT. These terms include provisions requiring the payment by the supplier of an ABI management charge in consideration of the award of this Agreement, the management and administration by HTE of the overall contract structure and associated documentation, as well as the requirement to submit regular management information to HTE.
