Towards zero-waste operating theatres
University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust (UHBW) and the Bristol and Weston Procurement Consortium are committed to supporting the transition to a circular economy.

Working with our clinical staff we have identified an unmet need for a range of solutions, services and alternative products that will support the transition to zero-waste operating theatres.

This initiative is supported by NHS England and NHS Improvement and Healthcare Without Harm Europe, and has attracted considerable interest from other NHS Trusts and networks.

More information can be found in the Joint Statement of Demand at: https://www.ecoquip.eu/zero-waste.html

The JSoD describes the current situation and its limitations, why innovation is needed, and the outcomes required of new and alternative solutions.

Market sounding and call for innovative solutions
Thank you for your interest in this market sounding exercise.
Interested parties from all parts of the supply chain are invited to express their interest by completing this response form.

Please respond as fully as possible by 5 October 2021.

We are interested in your views on the feasibility of the requirement, the capability and capacity of the market to offer solutions, now and in the future and are seeking information, insights and opportunities for innovation from all parts of the supply chain that could:
- contribute to achieving improvements in one or more aspects of the requirement;
- contribute to a new total solution;
- provide a total solution;
- involve incremental improvements or a step change in the short, medium and long term.

An online market consultation event will be held on the 18th November 2021. Please use this  form to register for this event (section 2).

If you have any questions, contact gaynor.whyles@jeraconsulting.com.
If you encounter any technical issues with this response form, contact tina.hadzic@ehma.org.

NOTE:
This is not a call for tenders or a pre-qualification exercise.  It is a prior market sounding exercise to provide advance information of our requirements and open a dialogue with the supply chain. The feedback from the supply chain will be used to inform our tender specification and strategy.

Please note that all information you provide will be used and retained by UHBW. This information may be drawn upon both within and beyond the Health Service. Consolidated contributions from this exercise may be published in a non-attributable form as part of further market consultation.
