## Summary

Cheshire East Borough Council is seeking to establish an integrated community equipment service through a tender titled "19 117 PROVISION OF INTEGRATED COMMUNITY EQUIPMENT SERVICES". This procurement, classified under the category of medical equipment services, is set in the North West region of England. The tender is currently active and follows an open procurement method, with submissions accepted until 2nd November 2020. The anticipated contract period will commence on 1st April 2021 and run until 31st March 2025, with a total contract value of £25 million, which includes a minimum of £20 million.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in community health services, medical equipment, and related supply and maintenance activities. Companies that can offer a comprehensive range of services, including storage, distribution, and repairs of community equipment, as well as those capable of collaborating with other providers, would be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, fostering growth in the healthcare sector.

## Notice

Cheshire East Borough Council in partnership with Cheshire West and Chester and NHS organisations in Cheshire, are looking to establish a singular integrated community equipment service. The service will consist of the procurement, storage, supply, distribution, repair, collection, recycling, maintenance and refurbishment of a range of community equipment. This will be for simple aids to daily living, complex aids to daily living, sensory aids, and possibly in the future telecare/telehealth (including associated services). Recognising the changing requirements in health and social care, the commissioners are seeking to purchase services through a single point of contact provider who has experience and expertise across the service range. The commissioners recognise that, whilst some providers may be able to provide the whole range of services being considered, some providers may wish to work in partnership with other organisations. Note TUPE is involved and bidders will need to qualify at SQ stage in order to be considered further.
