Description

Medway Council and NHS Medway Clinical Commissioning Group have partnered to procure a single Integrated Community Equipment Service (ICES) for the people of Medway. The partners are looking for a provider that can deliver a cost effective and innovative service within the allocated budget.

The population of Medway is approximately 278,000 and is estimated to grow to approximately 330,000 by 2035. While Medway has a relatively young population, the number of older people is set to increase with those aged over 70 rising by 20% in the next 5 years. Older people have a higher usage of health (hospital admissions) and care services (long term care needs) compared to other age groups. There is an expectation that demand for community equipment will increase in line with the increasing ageing population of Medway.
