## Summary

The London Borough of Newham (LBN) is currently in the planning stage for the "LBN Transforming Community Equipment Service" tender, which aims to establish an Approved Provider List (APL) for a duration of one year, commencing from September 1, 2018, and concluding on August 31, 2019. This service is classified under the medical consumables industry. Interested parties must register their interest by May 30, 2018. The procurement will be conducted via a selective method with the aim of ensuring at least two providers across each community neighbourhood within the borough to guarantee geographical equity.

This opportunity is ideal for businesses such as pharmacies registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council that operate within the London Borough of Newham, especially those that can deliver community health services. The tender focuses on procuring and supplying Simple Aids to Daily Living (SADLs), thus creating avenues for health-focused companies looking to expand their services to vulnerable groups, disabled individuals, and the elderly. Successful providers will play a critical role in facilitating timely hospital discharges and supporting individuals in maintaining their independence.

## Notice

The London Borough of Newham (LBN) is invites tender for the Transforming Community Equipment Service. The service, once established, will be in place for one year and shall be a closed List, meaning that providers cannot be added to the List after the tender process has concluded. Community Equipment is the collective term used to describe products and minor adaptations that enable disabled, vulnerable and older people to perform the essential activities of daily living - to maintain their health and autonomy and to live as full a life as possible. Items of equipment are classified as either Simple Aids to Daily Living ("SADLs") or Complex Aids to Daily Living ("CADLs").

The primary functions the Providers shall be required to deliver include, procuring, storing, dispensing, delivering, fitting, collecting and disposing of SADLs for Customers. Customers shall consist of disabled, vulnerable and older people aged eighteen and over who are ordinarily resident in the borough and / or registered with a General Practitioner located within the borough. The Provider shall meet the needs of Customers of all ages and with a variety of needs; and shall be able to respond whenever changes in their circumstances and / or needs occur, as assessed by a Prescriber. The Service is demand led and therefore the Provider shall not be required to provide a Service to a specific number of Customers, but shall have the capability and capacity to flex with demand. Commissioners wish to ensure that the borough has at least two Providers on the APL in each Community Neighbourhood in the borough to ensure geographical equity.
