The Framework replaces a contract which has expired and will be available for use by the Commissioners who make up the Partnership: Nottinghamshire County Council, Nottingham City Council and NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.
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.

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, Community Equipment for Adults, Community Equipment for Children and 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.
