OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Glasgow City Council procured the supply and delivery of four-wheel rollators, a type of walking aid used as community equipment. The requirement covered goods rather than installation, repair or maintenance, although it was awarded under the council’s wider Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply, installation, repair and maintenance of community equipment. Delivery is to Glasgow. The procurement was a single requirement for rollators, with the council retaining the right to source non-core and additional items from the awarded supplier. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are manufacturers, distributors and specialist medical-equipment suppliers able to provide walking aids and deliver them to council services in Glasgow.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a restricted procedure under the community-equipment Dynamic Purchasing System. Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare Limited was selected for the rollator requirement. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and is active. Its estimated value is £352,750, inclusive of the stated estimate caveat that the final value may be higher or lower because it is based on submitted rates. Three bids were received, all electronically and from SMEs. Evaluation gave 70 points to price and 20 to contract delivery. The council may also source non-core and additional items from the awarded supplier. The published outcome does not state a separate award date or contract end date.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates established council demand for mobility aids supplied as community equipment, at a substantial single-contract scale. A credible future competitor would need dependable access to four-wheel rollators, robust distribution arrangements and the capacity to deliver consistently to Glasgow. The evaluation shows that competitive pricing was the dominant consideration, while contract delivery performance also mattered, so suppliers would need both commercially competitive rates and evidence that they can fulfil orders reliably. Experience of public-sector or community-equipment supply routes would be relevant, particularly work delivered through a Dynamic Purchasing System. Electronic tendering capability and SME participation are also evidenced by the bids received.
