The estimated contract value exceeds £10 million and falls within the health and social work services category (CPV code: 85000000). The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with the tender expected to be published in early April 2020, following the Light Touch Regime as outlined in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract period spans from January 4, 2021, to December 31, 2023, and will address the needs of registered populations in the East of England. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in health services, especially those offering wheelchair and mobility solutions. Companies capable of providing high-quality assessments, prescriptions, and maintenance services for both children and adults with varying mobility needs are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Furthermore, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, positioning themselves to potentially expand their market share within the NHS sector. ## Notice NHS Arden & Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (AGCSU) on behalf of the commissioners, NHS Herts Valleys Clinical Commissioning Group (HVCCG) and NHS East and North Herts Clinical Commissioning Group (ENHCCG), would like to notify providers of the anticipated procurement of Wheelchair Services for their registered populations. The service will provide a comprehensive standard and specialist wheelchair and seating service for children over 30 months (younger children with postural needs/ specialist health needs will be considered if there is clear clinical reasoning for the need), young people and adults. The Service will provide a high quality and clinically safe integrated wheelchair service, including the assessment, prescription and provision of equipment, aftercare, maintenance and support for adults/and or children who have a physical/cognitive and/or degenerative long term condition which limits mobility. This may also include people who require end of life care. Pressure relieving cushions and postural management equipment will also be provided to meet long term clinical need. The estimated contract value is upwards of PS10m subject to contract length however, this cannot be guaranteed. The Commissioner anticipates the publish of a tender in early April 2020, utilising the Light Touch Regime (LTR) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR).
