What the notice says

West Northamptonshire Council conducted an Open Procedure to establish a single-supplier framework agreement for the provision of Point of Care Testing (POCT) equipment and associated support services for use within the NHS Health Check programme. The scope includes the supply, maintenance, repair and replacement of POCT equipment. The framework supports delivery of NHS Health Checks, however the delivery of Health Checks themselves is out of scope and commissioned separately.
