Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge City Council, acting as the buyer, is leading a procurement process titled "Cambs HIA Equipment" under the planning stage. The initiative involves the provision of fixed equipment for disabled residents across Cambridge City, South Cambridgeshire, and Huntingdonshire, primarily funded through Disabled Facility Grants. The contract, estimated at £4 million gross (£4.8 million inclusive of VAT), will be carried out through a selective award under a framework agreement, focusing on goods within the medical aids and welfare services industry categories. The delivery is restricted to the region of UKH12 in the United Kingdom. The contract period is expected to commence on 1st September 2026, extending up to 31st August 2028, with a potential maximum extension to August 2030.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those involved in manufacturing and supplying medical aids and welfare services for disabled individuals. The framework approach implies multiple opportunities for qualified suppliers, especially Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), to engage through competitive selection. This assists in fostering business growth by allowing suppliers to establish or solidify their presence in the public sector. Companies with expertise in medical or welfare equipment provision will be well positioned to compete effectively in this tender process.
