## Summary

Glasgow City Council procured the supply and delivery of walking sticks as walking aids for community equipment users. This is a goods requirement covering the provision of standard walking sticks rather than installation, repair or maintenance services. The buying organisation is Glasgow City Council, and the requirement serves its community equipment provision in Glasgow. The procurement sits within the wider supply, installation, repair and maintenance of community equipment framework delivered through a dynamic purchasing system. The relevant classification is CPV 33000000, covering medical equipment, pharmaceuticals and personal care products. The arrangement also allows the council to source non-core and additional items from the appointed supplier, so businesses supplying related community equipment may find the broader requirement commercially relevant.

This procurement has been awarded and the process is complete. It used a selective restricted procedure through a dynamic purchasing system, with one lot for walking sticks. Aidapt Bathrooms Ltd was selected as supplier, and the contract was signed on 14 August 2026. The contract is active and valued at £94,390, although this is an estimate based on rates submitted and the actual value may be higher or lower. The council reserved the right to source non-core and additional items from the awarded supplier. Three bids were received, all from SMEs and all submitted electronically; none came from EU bidders and three came from non-EU bidders. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible competitors would need to supply walking sticks reliably and deliver them for community equipment use across Glasgow. They would need sufficient stockholding, order fulfilment and delivery capacity to meet council demand, while offering clear and competitive rates for a requirement whose eventual volume can vary. Experience supplying mobility aids, healthcare products or other community equipment would help demonstrate understanding of users, product suitability and public-sector service expectations. Suppliers should also be able to work through a dynamic purchasing system and respond to restricted competitions electronically. The participation of three SME bidders shows that the opportunity can be contested by smaller businesses with relevant supply and delivery capability, not only large national distributors.
