This tender, titled "Operational Software Procurement for Croydon Council Community Equipment Services," is classified under the software package and information systems industry category. The procurement is currently at the tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 31 March 2022. The total contract value is £300,000, and the contract is expected to begin on 15 July 2022 and run through to 14 July 2027. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software development and system integration, particularly those with experience in health and social care sectors. Companies that offer operational solutions capable of managing logistics, asset management, client records, and financial reporting would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The engagement with Croydon Council allows firms to contribute to important health and social care transformation initiatives, ultimately aiding in the independence and well-being of vulnerable residents within the community. ## Notice The Community Equipment Service (CES) is a statutory service. Under the Care Act 2014, local authorities in England have a statutory duty to plan for the provision of certain homebased services, including disability aids and community equipment, to meet the assessed eligible needs of those individuals who are ordinarily resident in their area. This service is a core part of the council's health and social care offer. CES is an operational service, enabling our most vulnerable residents to maintain their independence at home. The Service is a key provider in supporting local authorities and health Partners in the delivery of key social care and health transformation programs. CES provides a vital service to residents from Croydon enabling them to maintain their independence at home. Through commercial partnerships (formed with 10 other local authorities and health service providers) the service facilitates over 100,000 deliveries a year of essential pieces of health and social care related equipment. The service is looking to procure operational software which will interface with all areas of the service and is integral to the good and efficient running of the service. This system is business critical and all aspects of the service would be affected without the system being fully operational. Examples of the system's use will be: * Equipment ordering portal for prescribers (Occupational Therapists, District Nurses and Tissue Viability Nurses) * Client record management * P2P system for purchasing community equipment * Asset management system * Logistics planning * Preventative Maintenance planning * Financial reporting and billing to our commercial partners ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/06ed41d0-2613-42de-8057-466b31c3e222 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Mar 2022 | | Submission deadline | 31 Mar 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 14 Jul 2022 - 14 Jul 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £300,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CROYDON COUNCIL | | Locality | CROYDON | | Post town | Croydon | | Postcode | CR0 1EA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI6 Outer London - South | | ITL 3 | TLI62 Croydon | | Local authority | Croydon | | Electoral ward | Fairfield | | Westminster constituency | Croydon West | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems - 48180000 - Medical software package - 48600000 - Database and operating software package ## Release History - 1 Mar 2022 at 16:01 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/06ed41d0-2613-42de-8057-466b31c3e222 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/06ed41d0-2613-42de-8057-466b31c3e222 1st March 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.croydon.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
