The tender, titled "DPS 4 - Supply of community equipment for small moving & handling equipment", falls under the medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products category. This process is classified as selective with a restricted procedure, and key operational dates indicate the DPS will remain open for submissions until 30th November 2026, with a potential contract period set to begin on 1st December 2026 and ending on 31st December 2026. Interested suppliers can register at any time on the DPS e-tendering portal. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the healthcare and medical equipment sectors, particularly those capable of supplying small moving and handling equipment. Suppliers that meet the DPS admission criteria, which includes small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), may benefit from engaging in this tender, especially given the shared service model which promises a broad client base across participating local authorities. Companies that can provide innovative and efficient solutions in community health equipment could gain a competitive advantage in this expanding market. ## Notice Croydon Council is seeking to engage suppliers of community equipment to the Integrated Procurement Hub (IPH) hosted by Croydon Council. The IPH is a shared service arrangement, whereby a number of local authorities have pooled their procurement of community equipment in to a single shared arrangement whereby Croydon Council acts as lead contracting authority procuring the Goods for and on behalf of itself and its Local Authority partners. This pooled requirement includes the community equipment that the Council and its local authority partners require as a result of performing health functions delegated to them by NHS bodies as part of their integrated commissioning arrangements. This tender process is being carried out in accordance with the provisions of Regulation 34 of the Public Contracts Regulations (PCR) 2015 relating to the procurement of a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the purchase of the Goods. The DPS is open to Admitted Suppliers throughout the period of validity. "Admitted Supplier" means a supplier who has met the DPS admission criteria set out in the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) and has been registered on the DPS for one or more product categories. Suppliers and products may be submitted for evaluation and potentially, admission to the DPS at any time throughout the period of validity. Suppliers who have been unsuccessful in meeting the criteria to become an "Admitted Supplier" may re-submit another, revised PQQ at any time beyond the initial mini competition. The DPS will remain open and valid from the start date of 28th October 2016 for a period of seven years, with the ability to extend the operation of the DPS for a further three years, to 31st November 2026. Each DPS is divided into multiple categories of related equipment: ALREADY OPEN: DPS_1 consisting of 31 categories of COMPLEX community equipment.
