## Summary

The London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham (LBHF) has completed the procurement process for the provision of community equipment under a direct award arrangement, with the contract awarded on 22nd September 2025. The contract, valued at £7.6 million, involves the supply, maintenance, and collection of community equipment to support independence, hospital discharge, and care at home for adults and children. This procurement falls under the "light touch" regime and is classified within the health and social work services category. The completed award, which spans from 22nd September 2025 to 21st September 2027, with a possible extension till 21st September 2028, addresses urgent supply needs following the receivership of the previous supplier, Nottingham Rehab Services (NRS), in August 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare solutions, particularly those focused on community and home-based care services. Companies skilled in the timely delivery and maintenance of medical equipment could thrive under this contract, which benefits from the direct award’s streamlined process. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) such as Provide Care Solutions Limited, already engaged with this contract, can leverage the opportunity to expand their market presence and enhance their service offerings within the health and social care sectors. The focus on supporting NHS and local council priorities could be especially appealing to businesses looking to integrate comprehensive, patient-focused care solutions.

## Notice

Provision of community equipment to support independence, hospital discharge, and care at home for adults and children, includes supply, maintenance and collection of items.

### Procurement Information

NRS informed the consortium in July 2025 that it will be unable to continue to fulfil its contracts with effect from the 31 July 2025 owing to financial difficulties. NRS went into official receivership via court order on 1st August 2025. The scope and complexities of requirement means that it is not possible to carry out a procurement even with shortened timeframes. A direct award is the only viable option.
