Summary of the contracting process

Lancashire County Council has amended the procurement process for the Community Equipment Services initially scheduled to be concluded by 18 March 2025. The tender aims to establish a single provider framework agreement for supplying medical equipment to support the independence of children and adults across Lancashire, Blackburn with Darwen, and Blackpool. The procurement process, open to SMEs and VCSE, involves partnership organisations such as the Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Integrated Care Board. Key deadlines include the tender end date on 18 March 2025 and a contract period from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2029, encompassing the North West region of the United Kingdom within the health and social work services category.

This tender represents a significant business opportunity for providers of medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. By participating in this framework agreement, suppliers can secure long-term contracts and expand their market presence in the North West. Businesses capable of delivering high-quality disability-related equipment and supporting hospital discharge and admission avoidance are particularly well-suited. The procurement method is an open procedure allowing wide participation, promoting inclusivity, and providing growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community, and social enterprises.
