The broad scope covers equipment for adults and children and young people: bathing equipment; beds and accessories; seating; equipment for people who are deaf or hard of hearing; homecare aids; manual handling and pressure care equipment; toileting equipment; wheelchairs; walking aids; and children’s moving, handling, standing, walking, positioning and other accessories. This is a goods procurement, covering a wide range of assistive and care equipment rather than a single product type. Suppliers may be relevant if they manufacture, distribute or deliver one or more of these equipment categories, including specialist products for children and young people. The process is at the planning stage: Fife Council has stated its intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. The council is still seeking supplier input to shape the proposed lotting structure, which spans 258 lots grouped by equipment type. The expected total procurement value is £8 million. Fife Council expects to publish a further notice on 30 November 2026; this is an indicative future notice date, not a bid deadline. No award basis or participation requirements are set out at this stage. The buyer indicates the procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. Suppliers with views on how the equipment categories should be grouped can contribute during this planning phase. The proposed structure offers potential relevance to suppliers across many distinct product specialisms, from bathing and homecare aids to wheelchairs, pressure care, manual handling and equipment for children and young people. The breadth of categories may suit manufacturers and distributors able to serve particular product groups, as well as suppliers with wider assistive-equipment ranges. Delivery capability across Fife will be relevant because equipment is intended for various locations throughout the area. Fife Council is inviting supplier input on how lots should be arranged, giving businesses an opportunity to explain which product groupings would support effective competition and supply. Businesses can use this planning period to consider which categories match their range and delivery capability ahead of the later procurement. ## Notice This contract for the supply and delivery of medical equipment. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Fife Council are seeking supplier to take part in a tender which shall cover the below requirement: Lots 1 to 16: Bathing Equipment Lots 17 to 30: Beds & Accessories Lots 31 to 63: Seating Equipment Lots 64 to 70: Deaf & Hard of Hearing Equipment Lots 71 to 82: Homecare Aids Lots 83 to 113: Manual Handling Equipment Lots 114 to 132: Pressure Care Equipment Lots 133 to 142: Toileting Equipment Lots 143 to 151: Wheelchairs Lots 152 to 168: Walking Aids Lots 169 to 185: Children & Young People (CYP) Toileting Equipment Lots 186 to 187: CYP Beds & Accessories Lots 188 to 192: CYP Moving & Handling Equipment Lots 193 to 223: CYP Accessories Lots 224 to 243: CYP Standers, Walkers & Positioning Equipment Lots 244 to 258: CYP Seating Equipment Please note Fife Council are looking for suppliers input to help shape this lotting structure.
