BHTA members involved in community equipment and independent living aids are encouraged to review a tender for an integrated community equipment loans service covering Doncaster, Rotherham, and Sheffield.
The service will support adults and children to live safely and independently at home, facilitate hospital discharge, and help prevent hospital admissions. Sheffield City Council is leading the joint procurement on behalf of City of Doncaster Council, Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham Council, and South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board.
The Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield Integrated Community Equipment Loans Service will cover the procurement, supply, storage, delivery, and collection of equipment and aids for daily living. It also includes decontamination, repairs, servicing, maintenance, reuse, and recycling.
The service will ensure eligible people of all ages receive timely access to safe, effective equipment that meets their assessed needs.
Commissioners require a responsive service that meets national guidelines for equipment delivery, collection, and active recall. The provider must offer efficient IT-based stock control and storage facilities, alongside robust infection control, cleaning, and decontamination measures.
Requirements also cover servicing, maintenance, warranties, and repairs. The service must have sufficient flexibility to respond to changes in national or local policy.
The procurement uses an open procedure under the light touch regime.
Quality will account for 60 percent of the overall evaluation score, price for 30 percent, and social value for 10 percent. Further details are available in the tender documentation.
