Summary of the contracting process

Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport and Tameside councils jointly procured integrated community equipment and minor adaptations services for adults and children across the four boroughs and authorised adjacent areas. The community equipment service covers sourcing medical and assistive equipment, stockholding, delivery, installation, fitting, adjustment, collection, cleaning, decontamination, refurbishment, recycling, repairs and preventative maintenance. It also includes technical assessments, joint visits and specialist engineering to support hospital discharge, reablement, prevention, urgent community response, palliative care and other community services. The minor adaptations service covers electronically managed referrals, permissions, construction planning, risk assessments, method statements and completion of property works. Equipment may also be delivered outside the area for people under the councils’ responsibility with approval.

The procurement is complete following an open procedure. Two lots were awarded on 12 August 2026. Lot 1, Integrated Community Equipment Service, was awarded to Medequip Assistive Technology Limited for £27,678,898.50 excluding VAT (£33,214,678.20 including VAT). Its contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with an option to extend by up to two years, subject to agreement and performance. Lot 2, Minor Adaptations, was awarded jointly to SRD Building Services Ltd and 24-7 Locks Secure Horizon Ltd for £2,598,932.05 excluding VAT (£3,118,718.46 including VAT), on the same contract period and extension terms. Both lots were evaluated on quality 50%, social value 10% and price 40%.

This requirement indicates recurring demand from four Greater Manchester councils for suppliers combining community equipment logistics with health and care delivery, or for building-services providers able to complete minor adaptations in occupied homes. A credible future competitor for the equipment lot would need capacity for procurement, stock management, storage, distribution, installation, collection, decontamination, refurbishment, recycling, repairs and servicing, supported by technical assessment and engineering capability. Providers should also be able to respond to urgent and discharge-related needs across multiple boroughs and authorised out-of-area locations. For minor adaptations, relevant strengths include electronic referral handling, customer liaison, permission management, principal-contractor responsibilities, proportionate construction planning, RAMS and reliable completion reporting. Social value delivery and measurable service quality would be important alongside price.
