## Summary

The Oldham Council is currently overseeing a procurement process for "The Provision for the Integrated Community Equipment Service (ICES)" aimed at delivering essential health and social work services within the Greater Manchester area. This open procedure tender, valued at £15,900,000, is active and will close on 2nd May 2017, with the contract period commencing on 1st October 2017 and concluding on 30th September 2022. The initiative seeks to enhance community-based support, enabling timely hospital discharges, preventing fall incidents, and promoting independence among individuals requiring assistance.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in health and social care services, especially those capable of providing community equipment and minor adaptations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be particularly well-suited to participate, offering innovative solutions that align with the strategic objectives of the initiative. By engaging with this procurement process, businesses can contribute to community wellbeing while growing their market presence in a sector that increasingly prioritises localised support systems.

## Notice

1.1 Local Authorities (LA) and Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCG) in Greater Manchester (GM) signed a landmark agreement with the government in February 2015 to take charge of health and social care spending and decisions in the Greater Manchester area. The strategic plan: 'Taking Charge of Health and Social Care in Greater Manchester' includes an ambition for people to take charge of - and responsibility for - managing their own health and wellbeing, whether they are well or ill. One of the changes sought is that when people do need support from public services it's provided largely in their community, with hospitals only needed for specialist care. Access to appropriate Equipment and Minor Adaptations helps enable people to live more independently or be cared for at home longer. 1.2 Provision of Equipment / Minor Adaptations is crucial in enabling timely discharge from hospital, supporting post-discharge recovery, preventing falls, preventing admissions to care homes and hospitals and maintaining independence.
