Community equipment enables people who are less mobile or who require assistance to live safely and independently at home. This includes a wide range of items-from simple living aids such as wheeled walkers, raised toilet seats and commodes, to more complex equipment such as profiling beds, hoists and specialised seating.
This is a loan‑based community equipment service. Equipment is provided to individuals for short‑ or long‑term use, depending on assessed need, and is collected, refurbished, recycled or replaced when no longer required. The Provider will therefore be responsible for the full lifecycle of loaned equipment, including delivery, installation, maintenance, repair, collection and reissue.
The timely provision of community equipment supports safe discharge from hospital, prevents avoidable admissions, and helps people remain independent in their own homes for longer. Effective equipment provision can also reduce or delay the need for more intensive care and support and plays an important role in supporting Carers to carry out their caring responsibilities safely.
Cheshire West will hold the contract and pay all invoices. Cheshire East Council and NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board (ICB) will also call off the equipment but will not sign the contract or make direct payments. They will form part of the evaluation panel - please note that the UK4 had errors that wouldn't allow me to add the ICB in to state they are users of the contracts and evaluators and potentially contract managers. This is a demand based contract so no guarantee of volumes or product types. The provider must be able to supply all listed items and specials where required.
