Description
Nottinghamshire County Council on behalf of the Nottinghamshire ICELS Partnership is seeking a suitably experienced single Provider to deliver the Integrated Community Equipment Loans Service (ICELS) across the County of Nottinghamshire (including Nottingham City) using a Framework Agreement.
The Framework will replace a contract which is expiring and will be available for use by the following Commissioners who make up the Partnership:
• Nottinghamshire County Council
• Nottingham City Council
• NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire CCG and NHS Bassetlaw CCG (to be replaced by the NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Partnership)
ICELS is the mechanism by which Community Equipment is ordered, loaned, delivered collected and maintained across Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire County. The ICELS provides maintenance and safety checks in line with national guidance and makes provision for facilities to demonstrate equipment. The service also provides minor adaptations work.
The aim of the ICELS is to enable clients and/or their carers to access a range of equipment and minor adaptations according to assessed need. A fundamental principle of the service is to promote and enable individuals to continue living independently and in their own homes.
Services purchased under this framework will be for Adults and/or Children in home, educational or other settings.
This is a competitive procurement using a competitive procedure with negotiation style process conducted in accordance with the light touch regime of the Public Procurement 2015 Regulations.
Bidders MUST have demonstrable experience of delivering services that are similar in scope and size to those described in this tender. This includes the delivery of an ICELS type service/s under contract to a Local Authority or Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG).
The Framework will operate for an initial term of five years with an option to extend for up to a further five years.
In addition to establishing the Framework Agreement the Council anticipates entering into contracts for an initial 3 call-off orders:
1) Community Equipment - Adults
2) Community Equipment - Children
3) Minor Adaptations
The anticipated initial term for call-offs 1, 2 and 3 will be 5 years, with an option to extend for up to a further 5 years.
Further work may be called off during the life of the Framework Agreement
