The process is currently in the planning stage with the express purpose of gathering insights via an engagement questionnaire that will inform future procurement strategies. This opportunity focuses on the supply and service provision of community equipment covering various industry categories including health, social work, and installation and maintenance services, primarily located in the UKJ3 region. Interested suppliers are invited to partake in preliminary market engagement, with responses due by 12th September 2025. The overall value of the procurement process is estimated at £60,000,000, with frontline services projected to start from 1st April 2027 through to 31st March 2032. This market engagement offers a unique opportunity for businesses specialising in community health equipment and services to shape future procurements and service delivery models. Suppliers capable of offering high-quality, cost-effective equipment that meets the diverse needs of Hampshire residents will find this process highly beneficial. The Council particularly welcomes detailed insights into service capability, delivery logistics, and innovative procurement models, crucial for businesses aiming to expand their public sector portfolio. As the council seeks strong collaboration with market players, providers of medical, precision equipment, and social care services are especially well-suited to compete and thrive in this evolving procurement landscape. ## Notice Hampshire County Council is inviting feedback from suppliers of Community Equipment to inform future procurement strategies that support independent living.
