National Framework Agreement for Provision of Track and Traceability Systems

The objective of this framework is to provide NHS Organisations with decontamination tracking and traceability management systems, along with consumables and support services. Suppliers can also supply all associated hardware and consumables, if required.

A decontamination tracking and traceability management system is used by hospitals during the decontamination, high-level disinfection, and sterilisation of instruments, endoscopes, and flexi scopes. The system supports the seamless decontamination, sterilisation, tracking, and tracing of all instruments, endoscopes, or devices through the decontamination facility and process, ensuring they are safely returned for use, and where required, may provide theatre management functionality to support instrument allocation, scheduling and device to patient associations.
