Integrated Community Equipment Services - PRF 625

Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC), Peterborough City Council (PCC) and Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) have statutory requirement duties under various legislation to provide community equipment services for people with health and social care needs.

The Integrated Community Equipment Service (ICES) is central to the delivery of the prevention and wellbeing priorities of the council and its partners and is acknowledged as an essential element of service provision that helps to reduce, prevent and delay the need for long term care and support. With ever changing demands across health and social care, it is essential that this service embraces innovation and evolves to better meet the needs and demands of all its stakeholders.

The Commissioners are seeking to appoint a provider to deliver an exemplary Integrated Community Equipment Service to the people paying council tax in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough and those who are registered with a GP that is part of the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough CCG.

Whilst Peterborough City Council and Cambridgeshire County Council are jointly procuring ICES for delivery throughout Peterborough and Cambridgeshire, the successful bidder shall contract with Peterborough City Council, as the lead authority, on behalf of both authorities.
