## Summary

Herefordshire Council is planning a procurement process to establish a framework for community equipment suppliers, specifically targeted at the medical equipment sector. The tender is currently in the planning stage, with an estimated publication date of 1st September 2026 and the contract expected to commence on 1st January 2027. The framework agreement will cater to the Community Equipment Service in Herefordshire, aiming to assist residents in living independently at home. The procurement will focus on goods such as moving and handling devices, pressure care, bathing and toileting aids, and furniture including beds and chairs. The project is set within the UK region UKG11, serving Herefordshire and aligns with sub-central government public authority requirements.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products to expand their market reach by providing essential services for community aid. Given the suitability for SMEs, companies of various sizes can benefit from this long-term contract, which spans until the end of 2034. This framework agreement encourages businesses equipped to supply such goods to engage with a public authority and gain a foothold in the regional market for ongoing procurement. The tender process could be particularly beneficial for businesses that prioritise innovation and adaptability within the healthcare supply chain sector.
