This initiative falls under the services category and is aimed at supporting individuals with complex physical disabilities. The procurement is based at the Bowley Close Regional Rehabilitation Centre in London. The preliminary market engagement phase is scheduled to inform a potential future tender exercise and will remain open until 13 June 2025. Interested parties are invited to express their interest and provide relevant information before this deadline. This planning process positions the Trust as a central government public authority operating within the healthcare industry, seeking services related to the repair and maintenance of wheelchairs, rehabilitation hospital services, and more, with an anticipated contract period beginning on 1 April 2026. This tender opportunity creates a gateway for businesses to expand within healthcare service sectors, specifically those involved in repair, maintenance, and technical rehabilitation engineering. The approximate contract value is projected at £6 million, emphasising significant business growth potential for SMEs and VCSEs with expertise in wheelchair servicing and rehabilitation solutions. Companies with experience in bespoke postural solutions, mobility devices, prosthetics, orthotics, and assistive communication devices would be well-positioned to compete. The procurement approach will be refined following the market consultation phase, ensuring that businesses have ample time to prepare for the formal tendering process expected later in 2025. ## Notice The Trust is undertaking a preliminary market engagement exercise to inform a potential future procurement of the Rehabilitation Engineering and Wheelchair Maintenance Service to Bowley Close Regional Rehabilitation Centre based at Guy's & St Thomas's NHS Foundation Trust. The service currently supports children and adults with complex and long-term physical disabilities across south east London and beyond. Key elements include the delivery, repair, configuration, maintenance (including emergency response), servicing for reuse, and technical rehabilitation engineering input for bespoke postural, mobility solutions, prosthetic, orthotic & assistive communication devices. ### Planning Information We are interested in speaking to providers who can offer the services we are seeking and ask that you respond directly to rebecca.mcmahon@gstt.nhs.uk providing information on the services your company provide and any experience in this area. The deadline for responses is 5pm on Friday 13th June. Any feedback received during this time will be used for information purposes only. Feedback will not be evaluated or scored, and it will have no bearing on any potential future tender exercise or contract award. Providing information at this stage will in no way obligate your organisation to tender. Conversely, failing to participate in this preliminary market engagement process will in no way preclude your organisation from participating in any potential future tender exercise. GSTT’s intention is to reserve judgement on its route to market until after the conclusion of this market consultation phase of the project. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/021832-2025 | | Notice type | UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 May 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Oct 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2026 - 31 Mar 2030 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £6,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Planning | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | GUY'S AND ST THOMAS' NHS FOUNDATION TRUST | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South East London | | Postcode | SE1 9RT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI44 Lewisham and Southwark | | Local authority | Southwark | | Electoral ward | London Bridge & West Bermondsey | | Westminster constituency | Bermondsey and Old Southwark | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 50 - Repair and maintenance services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 50421100 - Repair and maintenance services of wheelchairs - 85111400 - Rehabilitation hospital services - 85312500 - Rehabilitation services ## Release History - 15 May 2025 at 14:07 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/021832-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/021832-2025 15th May 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents - https://www.lpp.nhs.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
