This initiative targets the provision of community equipment essential for individuals with disabilities or health needs, facilitating independent living and supporting hospital transitions. The tender is currently at the award stage, with an active status since 31st January 2017. The contract period spans from 1st April 2017 to 31st March 2021, and the procurement was carried out through an open procedure. Key details include the submission deadline of 17th August 2016, with locations centred around the North West and London regions of the United Kingdom. This procurement opportunity presents significant potential for business growth, especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) engaged in supplying medical equipment. Companies that provide items such as beds, mobile hoists, lifting solutions, and bathing aids would be well-positioned to compete in this framework. The competitive structure, divided into multiple lots, allows various suppliers to engage in different categories, enhancing the chances for diverse businesses to secure contracts within their specialised areas. ## Notice Cheshire East Borough Council is seeking Suppliers to provide Community Equipment and the delivery of it. Equipment is provided when, by reason of a temporary or permanent disability or health needs, they require the provision of equipment on a temporary or permanent basis for daily independent living.

Cheshire East Borough Council will be setting up a framework for the supply of equipment along with their parners who are NHS Eastern Cheshire CCG, NHS South Cheshire CCG, NHS Vale Royal CCG, NHS West Cheshire CCG (Leaving the partnership 30th September 2016) and Cheshire West and Chester Council (Leaving the partnership 30th September 2016) The framework will be open for a number of other Local Authorities to join although there will be no guaranteed volumes.
