## Summary

The procurement process for the Integrated Community Equipment Services has been completed with the award dated 10th October 2025. The buying organisation, Peterborough City Council, in collaboration with Cambridgeshire County Council and the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Integrated Care Board, sought to provide health and social care equipment services. These services are crucial for enhancing the wellbeing and independence of individuals in the regions of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough (regions UKH11 and UKH12), United Kingdom. The contract, valued at approximately £45.3 million gross, was awarded through a direct procurement method due to extreme and unavoidable urgency, and it spans from 28th July 2025 to 27th July 2029. Medequip Assistive Technology Limited, a large enterprise based in West Drayton, UK, emerged as the supplier to deliver these services.

This tender presents a strategic opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social care services, especially those that can offer innovative equipment solutions to support community health initiatives. While the direct award process was utilised due to urgency, similar procurements in the future might allow participation from new suppliers. Businesses focusing on delivering adaptive and scalable health services, particularly those capable of responding swiftly to changing demands, would be well-suited to compete in procurements like these. As the health and social care landscape evolves, companies that can support preventative care and facilitate independent living will find opportunities to contribute to public sector health priorities.

## Notice

Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC), Peterborough City Council (PCC) and Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Integrated Care Board (ICB) have statutory requirement duties under various legislation to provide community equipment services for people with health and social care needs. The Integrated Community Equipment Service (ICES) is central to the delivery of the prevention and wellbeing priorities of the council and its partners and is acknowledged as an essential element of service provision that helps to reduce, prevent and delay the need for long term care and support. With ever changing demands across health and social care, it is essential that this service embraces innovation and evolves to better meet the needs and demands of all its stakeholders. The Commissioners are appointiing a provider to deliver an exemplary Integrated Community Equipment Service to the people paying council tax in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough and those who are registered with a GP that is part of the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough ICB. Whilst Peterborough City Council and Cambridgeshire County Council are jointly procuring ICES for delivery throughout Peterborough and Cambridgeshire, the awarded supplier shall contract with Peterborough City Council, as the lead authority, on behalf of all authorities. Direct award justification - Extreme and unavoidable urgency From a procurement perspective the justification to direct award occurs when a contract cannot be awarded on the basis of a competitive tendering procedure because the services are strictly necessary for reasons of extreme and unavoidable urgency. The urgency is unavoidable if it is not attributable to any act or omission of the Council and could not have been foreseen by the Council. The situation is considered so urgent that the Council cannot comply with the timescales required for a competitive tendering procedure (even the shortened timescales permitted for urgency), as there is a serious risk of failing to deliver a statutory service if alternative provisions are not implemented at pace.
