Small items such as Head/Ear Phones).•Information Packs (All information packs would be patient orientated e.g. Pregnancy guides)Food and Beverages are not required for these machines and therefore any offer providing these items would be declined. The items provided within the above categories would have to be agreed with the department upon award of the contract. The Health Board would not be liable for any damage or faults incurred to any machines. The successful candidate will be expected to maintain all machines.This is a generation income project for the Health Board and the Health Board would not expect to pay suppliers.
