Contrast Media and Associated Injectors/Consumables
This framework plays a critical role in enabling early diagnosis and intervention, aligning with NHS ambitions to reduce diagnostic delays and improve population health outcomes. Through consolidation of regional agreements and supplier rationalisation, it enables procurement efficiencies, supports standardisation, and reduces the burden on individual NHS organisations.
This framework is delivered by the four regional NHS procurement hubs, NHS Commercial Solutions, East of England Collaborative Procurement Hub (EOE CPH), NHS North of England Commercial Procurement Collaborative, and the London Procurement Partnership
