NHS Supply Chain intends to launch a National Framework Agreement for the provision of Ultrasound System to Quantify Liver and or Spleen Stiffness and Measure Liver Steatosis that includes the following.
•	The ability to measure liver stiffness to quantify fibrosis and cirrhosis.
•	The ability to measure fatty liver to quantify steatosis non-invasively.

•	The ability to allow any clinical practitioners to use the system rather than a trained sonographer only.
For the avoidance of doubt consumables will only be in scope of the proposed Framework if purchased alongside the types of equipment, as stated in any subsequent specification.
Precise quantities are unknown. It is anticipated that initial expenditure will be in the region of £17,500,000
in the first year of this Framework Agreement, however this is approximate only and the values may vary depending on the requirements of those bodies purchasing under the Framework Agreement. The estimated value over the total Framework Agreement term (including any extension options) is anticipated to be in the region of £35,000,000.
NHS Supply Chain engaged with suppliers that can provide a Standalone Non-Imaging Vibration-Controlled Ultrasound System to Quantify Liver and or Spleen Stiffness and Measure Liver Steatosis. The PIN 2024/S 000-039307 intended to identify such providers with a view to ultimately align this solution within the scope of Endoscopy and Ultrasound Framework which is due for renewal in November 2026.

NHS Supply Chain have a mandate from DHSC to drive the availability of innovative products to the NHS. NHS Supply Chain believe the product sourced by this contract (which is not covered by any of its current Framework Agreements) falls within this remit as a “disruptive” innovative product and has been identified to provide enhanced patient benefits. This product will be utilised within the community allow more people to be accurately diagnosed with liver fibrosis and cirrhosis due to an increase in people either attending a scan at their GP surgery or because the system will be available “on the road” which may reduce health inequalities for people from disadvantaged or high-risk communities. The aim to bring liver scanning into GP settings also decreases the amount of in hospital needed care. This will proactively stop further hospital appointments and ultimately any long-term hospitalisation. There will also be a reduction in initial referrals and assessment appointments with hepatology allowing providers to use resources more efficiently. NHS Supply Chain intends to enter into a Framework Agreement (FAG) with an identified supplier of these products/services alongside the existing framework previously mentioned in ‘II.1.4) short description’ above) following a 10 calendar day publication of this notice should there only be only 1 available supplier using procedure 'Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition' as the procurement falls outside the scope of application of the Public Contracts Regulations. The Term of this Framework Agreement is anticipated to be 22 months. As part of its strategy, NHSSC anticipates engaging with suppliers of these products/services with a view to ultimately align this solution within the scope of Endoscopy and Ultrasound framework, which is due for renewal in November 2026.
The Framework Agreement will be between NHS Supply Chain and the Supplier, however 1) NHSSC, 2) any NHS Trust; 3) any other NHS entity; 4) any government department, agency or other statutory body and/or 5) any private sector entity active in the UK healthcare sector will be able to enter into a direct contract with the Supplier for any of the supplies and/or services under the Framework. Electronic ordering will be used and electronic invoicing will be accepted and electronic payment will be used. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding the estimate indicated at II.1.7, NHSSC does not guarantee any level of purchase through the framework. Any agreement entered will be considered a contract made in England according to English law and will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.

Programme Vision:
The DTA vision is for the UK to become the destination of choice for late-phase clinical trials in dementia and neurodegenerative diseases. The aims of the DTA are to:
1. Increase trial recruitment by identifying potential participants in trials by creating a "biomarker toolbox". This toolbox will incorporate one or more of: genetic or clinical risk scores, blood-based biomarkers and clinical measurements of subjects living with or at risk of dementia and related neurodegenerative disorders
2. Work with existing UK patient or population cohorts to approach people for clinical trials to identify potential participants
3. Accelerate low-cost delivery identification of potential participants in dementia and neurodegenerative trials with community-based, digitally enabled, trial pre-screening
4. Accelerate collaborative neurodegenerative research through assembly of a secure UK-wide AI-enabled data platform that makes multi-dimensional FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) through trustworthy and secure data environment(s)
5. Prioritise the needs of industry innovators, patients and the public with an iterative engagement with stakeholders
Service Required:
Brain Health Community Assessment for Trials Service is central to this vision. It will provide pre-screening for a range of dementia and neurodegenerative clinical trials close to where people live as recommended by the O'Shaughnessy Review. The appointed provider will deliver comprehensive services, including:
1. Appointment booking system that enables participants to book appointments directly through a portal;
2. Booking system able to receive information from and interface via secure integration with data partners;
3. Telephone and email support with appointment booking if needed by participants;
4. Identity check and verifying or obtaining informed consent;
5. Complete 10,000 appointments - one appointment per participant to deliver;
•	community phlebotomy service;
•	digital cognitive and 'day-to-day function' assessment performed using electronic device in a quiet location;
•	physical measurements: height, weight, blood pressure;
6. Blood sample processing;
7. Sample storage, tracking and shipment to a chosen UK location(s)
8. Data collection, storage and sharing.
The service required will be a pilot with appointments across England, with plans to expand to underserved areas. The aim is to identify up to 10,000 potential trial participants over one year.
Providers must ensure accessibility and provide flexible service times which accommodates those who have daytime commitments. They must also comply with regulatory standards for sample handling, participant confidentiality, and data security.
This procurement marks the first phase of a broader initiative, future phases of which will include coverage of the four nations of the UK, subject to a separate procurement process.

description: Contract Monitoring. The successful contractor’s performance on the contract will be regularly monitored. Contractors not delivering. on contract requirements is a serious matter. It means the public purse is not getting what it is paying for. If a contractor fails to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance they will be given a specified time to improve. If, after the specified time, they still fail to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance, the matter will be escalated to senior management in DfI for further action. If this occurs and their performance still does not improve to satisfactory levels within the specified period, it may be regarded as an act of grave. professional misconduct and they may be issued with a Certificate of Unsatisfactory Performance and the contract may be terminated. The issue of a Certificate of Unsatisfactory Performance will result in the contractor being excluded from all procurement competitions being undertaken by Centres of Procurement Expertise on behalf of bodies covered by the Northern Ireland Procurement Policy for a period of twelve months from the date of issue of the certificate.
