This open procurement process highlights the need for a cost-effective and innovative service to support an estimated population growth in Medway, which is expected to increase from 278,000 to approximately 330,000 by 2035. With the tender period ending on 30 September 2019, interested parties should note that the contract is valued at £11 million and primarily falls under the medical equipment and personal care products category. The contract duration is set to begin on 1 July 2020 and conclude on 30 June 2023. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and personal care services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). As the demand for community equipment is expected to rise due to the increasing elderly population in Medway, companies that can offer innovative solutions and high-quality service delivery will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Firms should consider how they can provide effective community health solutions that address both current and future needs within the Medway area. ## Notice Medway Council and NHS Medway Clinical Commissioning Group have partnered to procure a single Integrated Community Equipment Service (ICES) for the people of Medway. The partners are looking for a provider that can deliver a cost effective and innovative service within the allocated budget. The population of Medway is approximately 278,000 and is estimated to grow to approximately 330,000 by 2035. While Medway has a relatively young population, the number of older people is set to increase with those aged over 70 rising by 20% in the next 5 years. Older people have a higher usage of health (hospital admissions) and care services (long term care needs) compared to other age groups. There is an expectation that demand for community equipment will increase in line with the increasing ageing population of Medway. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ca9a8f5f-49af-4c2a-99e5-0021dd771836 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Aug 2019 | | Submission deadline | 30 Sep 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2020 - 30 Jun 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £11,000,000 | | 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 | MEDWAY COUNCIL | | Locality | CHATHAM | | Post town | Rochester | | Postcode | ME4 4TR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ4 Kent | | ITL 3 | TLJ41 Medway | | Local authority | Medway | | Electoral ward | Chatham Central & Brompton | | Westminster constituency | Rochester and Strood | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products ### Codes - 33000000 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products ## Release History - 20 Aug 2019 at 13:44 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ca9a8f5f-49af-4c2a-99e5-0021dd771836 - 22 Jul 2019 at 11:53 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cde2d760-46db-4d4e-9b36-9392161584d8 - 22 Jul 2019 at 10:29 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4ace764c-2daa-4d76-9f2b-2404ae388b3a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ca9a8f5f-49af-4c2a-99e5-0021dd771836 20th August 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cde2d760-46db-4d4e-9b36-9392161584d8 22nd July 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4ace764c-2daa-4d76-9f2b-2404ae388b3a 22nd July 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=8b9ce385-6aac-e911-80f8-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.medway.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
