Tender description

The purpose of the ICES is to supply, deliver and fit a range of equipment to people who need it, both adults and children. Tenders were 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. This service is not divided into lots as a consistent service is required across the whole of the borough of Kirklees. One contract has been awarded to one (1) successful economic operator, to deliver the full requirements of the Service Specification. The Commencement Date of the Contract is 1.4.2018, for a period of five (5) years, with the provision to extend the Contract by up to a maximum of two (2) further twelve (12) month periods.
