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. The procedure was not a competitive flexible procedure, it was an open procedure.

Contact removal rule: contacts/1.

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.
