## Summary

The NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit is overseeing the procurement process for "Wheelchair Services for Adults and Children across Derbyshire."

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the healthcare and mobility sectors, particularly those specialising in medical equipment and services related to wheelchairs and assistive devices. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the contract's collaborative nature allows for innovative service delivery within a transforming health and social care system. Providers that can demonstrate a capacity for proactive patient care and a commitment to supporting independent living will be particularly well-positioned to compete for this contract.

## Notice

NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (NHS Arden and GEM CSU) on behalf of NHS Southern Clinical Commissioning Group (SDCCG) acting as lead Commissioners on behalf of the Derbyshire CCGs including NHS Erewash, Hardwick Derbyshire and North Derbyshire CCGs invited suitably qualified providers who are capable of delivering Wheelchair Services for Adults and Children across Derbyshire. The service will assess children, young people and adults, and provide wheelchairs and all associated equipment as appropriate based on broad categories of need, in line with the agreed Eligibility Criteria. The combined registered population of the 4 CCGs is 1,003,439. Of these, 19,029 (1.9%) are currently registered with the Wheelchair Service. The health and social care system in Derbyshire has come together as "Joined Up Care Derbyshire", to transform the health and well-being of the local population, and ensure that the right services are delivered in a sustainable way. A key focus of this work is supporting people to remain independent. Locally delivered, proactive care will ensure that needs are identified and solutions put into place at an early stage, reducing the need for crisis-led reactive care. There will be a significant shift in resources from acute settings to multi-disciplinary teams, coordinating care in local "places". The provider will work collaboratively as part of the wider health and social system to ensure that the Wheelchair Service is fully embedded into this new way of working. Additional information: The Invitation to Tender Questionnaire was published on 09.07.18, and deadline for responses was 12:00pm (noon) on 10.08.18. The Contracting Authority used an e-Procurement Portal 'Arden and Greater East Midlands CSU Procurement Portal' for this procurement exercise.
