This framework supports you to source the delivery of the provision of medical cylinder gases including specialised prescription gases, cylinder tracking systems and a comprehensive portfolio of training.
We have created an accessible framework for the provision and delivery of medical cylinder gases. The agreement contains a comprehensive portfolio of gases, tracking systems and training, ensuring high levels of service and supply within any clinical environment.
This framework was retendered following the expiration of the previous agreement with input from the Yorkshire and Humber NHS Pharmaceutical Consortium and NOE CPC members. The agreement has been updated and the requirements re-evaluated to ensure the new framework meets trust requirements and HTM 02-01 guidelines.
