Understanding Return Types

Use this return type to report contracts that have been won through the framework during the reporting period. For each sale against the framework agreement you’re on, you will need to provide details including the organisation name and code, contract title and reference, contract value (excluding VAT), and the contract start and end dates.

Use this return type to report invoices that have been raised under the framework agreement you’re on during the reporting period. For each invoice, you will need to provide details including the organisation name and code, invoice date and number, product or service description, quantity, unit price, invoice amount (excluding VAT), and VAT amount. Once submitted, the system will calculate the corresponding framework rebate fee, which NHS SBS will then invoice you for.

Use this return type if you have no business to report for a framework during that reporting period. A nil return still needs to be submitted each month to confirm there is nothing to declare.
