Croydon Equipment Service - Employee Mutual Partnership Opportunity - AWARD

The Council intends to 'spin-out' the Council team which provides community equipment and wheelchair services (CES) to a public service mutual (Mutual).

A Partner is sought in order to provide the following services:

• CES, to be provided to residents of the Council, and in order to support the Council in delivering similar services under third party contracts (Services Limb)
• business services in support of the Mutual's ongoing business plan and commercial operations (Partnering Limb)

The Partner will also be a supplier under a single supplier framework, from which CES services can be called-off (Framework).

The Partner is expected to work with the Mutual in order to discharge these obligations. The Council will not pay the Partner for these services but, instead, the Partner will receive shares in the Mutual should certain conditions be satisfied
