Summary of the contracting process

Glasgow City Council procured the supply and delivery of Buckingham Caddies, a daily living aid used as community equipment. This is a goods requirement for a specific item rather than a wider installation, repair or maintenance service. Delivery is required in Glasgow. The procurement was made against the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply, installation, repair and maintenance of community equipment, indicating that the caddy forms part of a broader equipment-support arrangement. Relevant suppliers are manufacturers, distributors and specialist community-equipment providers able to supply Buckingham Caddies and deliver them to council services or users in Glasgow. The classification covers medical and rehabilitation equipment, including aids for daily living (CPV 33196000, 33196100 and 33196200).

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a restricted procedure under the council’s community-equipment Dynamic Purchasing System. One lot covered the Buckingham Caddy requirement, with an option for the council to source non-core and additional items from the awarded supplier. People Asset Management Ltd was selected, and the contract is active. It was signed on 5 August 2026 for an estimated value of £202,490, inclusive of the published qualification that the actual value may be higher or lower. Evaluation was based on price, weighted at 70, and contract delivery quality, weighted at 20. Two bids were received; both were from SMEs and submitted electronically. The award was subject to the UK’s obligations under the Government Procurement Agreement.

This award demonstrates a defined Glasgow City Council requirement for Buckingham Caddies within its community-equipment purchasing route. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would have dependable access to the specified product, established distribution arrangements and the capacity to fulfil council orders for daily living aids. Evidence of reliable delivery performance would matter, because contract delivery quality formed part of the evaluation alongside price. Businesses should also be able to operate within a Dynamic Purchasing System and respond to restricted competitions, including electronic submission. The two bids received were from SMEs, showing that the requirement can be contested by smaller specialist suppliers rather than only by large national contractors. A credible competitor would therefore combine product availability, responsive delivery and disciplined pricing for community equipment.
