Notice description

"The Community Equipment Service loans a variety of disability related equipment to children and adults across all 12 areas in Lancashire plus the two unitary authorities. The equipment helps people to maintain and maximise their independence, enable them and their carers to be safely supported and improve their quality of life. The provision of equipment makes a significant contribution to promoting independence, facilitating hospital discharge and avoiding admission to hospital or care homes. LCC is procuring a single provider framework agreement between LCC and the service provider whereby partnership organisations have the option to call off the framework agreement. *Partnership Organisations include Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Integrated Care Board, Blackburn with Darwen Council and Blackpool Council. See tender documents for full details. " Additional information: The council has decided to no longer continue the procurement process for the Community Equipment Service due to necessary changes in our approach and requirements. The previous tender submission deadline of Tuesday, 18 March 2025, is no longer applicable. Any tenders submitted will not be evaluated. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding and patience. Please be assured that we remain committed to Community Equipment as an integral part of our broader prevention strategy for the people of Lancashire Best regards

    Coverage and the source register.

    What this export cannot show

    Award values are not linked to a named supplier, and no ceiling or maximum amount is shown. Those facts stay on the official notice when the notice publishes them. A tender deadline, award dates, supplier sizes, lots, and option or renewal wording appear on contract pages only where a held notice states them. A held process counts as last at tender or planning only when that is the latest stage among the held releases. Where more than one supplier is named, the names are joint and no share is stated.
