Health and social work services

Tender description

The contracting authority wishes to commission an Integrated Community Equipment Service (‘ICES’) that enables service users to live as independently as possible, in their chosen home, and enables health and social care services to function effectively and without delay, preventing service users from developing more complex needs and protecting them and their carers from harm or injury. The purpose of the ICES is to supply, deliver and fit a range of equipment to people who need it, both adults and children. The contracting authority requires: (a) a responsive service that meets the national guidelines for the delivery and collection of equipment; (b) has IT based efficient stock control and storage facilities; (c) has infection control measures; (d) has delivery and collection methods; and (e) is flexible enough to meet changes in national or local policy requirements. Tenders are invited by the contracting authority from economic operators with relevant experience and ability to provide the supply of equipment and aids to daily living and to deliver it to people who use such equipment and live within Kirklees (the ‘Service’ or the ‘Services’) as detailed more fully in the Appendix A (Service Specification) of the tender documents which are available to download to https://www.yortender.co.uk/procontract/supplier.nsf This service will not be divided into lots as a consistent service is required across the whole of the borough of Kirklees. 1 contract will be awarded to one (1) successful economic operator, to deliver the full requirements of the Service Specification.
