The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with an open procedure method and an anticipated contract period starting from 30th January 2024 to 31st January 2024. The tender has a submission deadline set for 29th January 2024 and is expected to have a total value of around £10 million over a potential five-year span, covering categories such as mobility aids, bariatric equipment, and other essential medical devices in the West Midlands region, UK. This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses in the medical supplies and equipment sector, particularly those able to provide a range of products from mobility aids to specialised equipment for the elderly and disabled. Companies that can demonstrate experience in the procurement, delivery, maintenance, and refurbishment of healthcare equipment will be well-suited to compete for this contract. The open nature of the procurement allows for significant participation from qualified contractors, expanding the potential for business growth within this crucial healthcare supply chain. ## Notice Worcestershire County Council (WCC) commissions the Community Equipment Service (CES) for Worcestershire. CES is funded on an equal basis by WCC and NHS Herefordshire and Worcestershire Clinical Commissioning Group (HWCCG). The service is delivered by Worcestershire Health and Care NHS Trust (WHCT) on behalf of the commissioners. The People Directorate of WCC retains responsibility for selected aspects of the CES, including the purchasing of equipment. WCC is seeking to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for a range of 'Equipment Categories' and is seeking suitably qualified and experienced organisations to join the DPS and respond to tender opportunities from it. The service encompasses a range of functions including; o The procurement of an appropriate range of equipment o The delivery of equipment o The maintenance and servicing of equipment o The collection of equipment o The decontamination of equipment o The refurbishment of equipment for reuse o The storage of equipment. A significant proportion of equipment is refurbished following its return to the stores following a loan period. In recent years the CES has invested in equipment which can be deployed on a 'modular' basis, increasing the flexibility of the service to respond to individual needs in a cost-effective and efficient manner. The table below summarises the equipment categories which will comprise the DPS, these will be sub-categorised as appropriate: - Category No Category Title Category 1 Bariatric Category 2 Bathing Category 3 Beds Category 4 Seating Category 5 Mobility Category 6 Pressure Reducing Equipment Category 7 Manual handling and transferring Category 8 Toileting Category 9 Children's Equipment The DPS will be for 3 years with options to extend for up to 2 years.
