The contract will run 1st April 2021 - 31st March 2023, with an option to extend for up to a further 24-month period from 1st April 2023 - 31st March 2025, at a total aggregate contract value including extensions of PS249,999.78 (PS208,333.15 + VAT). To date the pilot has provided: * Additional capacity and specialist portable moving and handling equipment within the urgent nursing intervention team and Essex care homes. * Enhanced support to care homes to influence the way they currently manage patients who have fallen redirecting calls away from the local ambulance service. * Influenced local 111 tele-triage service, incorporating urgent nursing intervention team as a possible alternative referral pathway for suspected non-injurious falls. * Deployment of emergency lifting chairs within seven acute wards to support patient safety and dignity of care and staff health and wellbeing, and the Trust has now rolled this model out to all hospital sites across MSE. In order to continue to realise additional and significant benefits in terms of quality of care for residents/patients and support to the staff caring for them, as well as maximise benefit of consistency of product being deployed across the STP and consistency of the training being received within care homes and urgent nursing intervention teams, the CCG's have taken a decision to purchase additional specialist emergency lifting chairs to deploy across more care homes and rapid response teams in Mid and South Essex. After conducting market analysis regarding the manufacture of the required products, including UK distributors and availability of other sourcing routes being exhausted, the CCG deems that using the negotiated procedure without prior publication is permitted on the grounds that competition is absent for technical reasons. As such, the CCGs published a Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency Notice (VEAT) on 24th February 2021 in Find a Tender Service, expressing their clear intention to enter into the contract with Felgain's Ltd. The 10 day standstill period expired on 6th March 2021 and upon no appeals being received, the CCGs proceeded to formally award the contract on 12th March 2021.

Options: There is an option to extend the contract at the sole discretion of the CCG's, for up to a further 24 months.
