## Summary

Wigan Council is currently seeking bids for the "Low Level Equipment and Adaptations Prevention Project," which falls under the health and social work services category. This procurement process is at the tender stage, with submissions due by 15 January 2018. The contract, valued at £174,000, aims to enhance assessment and delivery services for equipment to the local population in the North West of England, starting from 5 March 2018 and concluding on 4 March 2021. The procurement method is classified as an open procedure, allowing for broad participation.

This project presents significant business opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in health and social care services. Businesses that can provide efficient assessment services and timely delivery of low-level equipment will be well-positioned to compete. This initiative aims to optimise resources and improve service efficiency, thus granting firms that focus on innovative solutions a competitive edge in this tender.

## Notice

The Council and the Contractor wish to enter into an Agreement for a service, whereby the contractor will undertake low level assessments on behalf of Wigan Council and then prescribe and supply the equipment needed at the time of assessment. The key objectives of this service are:- * Reduce the workload of the Wigan Council. * Provide an efficient assessment and delivery service of TCEs equipment to the Wigan population seven days a week. * Provide a basic low cost TCEs service which offers the potential for savings in other departments via early hospital discharges and free up resources for more complex cases to be processed sooner.
