19 117 PROVISION OF INTEGRATED COMMUNITY EQUIPMENT SERVICES

Tender description

Cheshire East Borough Council in partnership with Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council and NHS organisations in Cheshire, is looking to establish a singular integrated community equipment service. The service will consist of the procurement, storage, supply, distribution, repair, collection, recycling, maintenance and refurbishment of a range of community equipment. This will be for equipment (both simple and complex) to assist daily living, and possibly in the future may include telecare/telehealth and sensory aids (including associated services). Recognising the changing requirements in health and social care, the commissioners are seeking to purchase services through a single point of contact via a provider who has experience and expertise across the service range. The commissioners recognise that, whilst some providers may be able to provide the whole range of services being considered, some providers may wish to work in partnership with other organisations to deliver these requirements.
