The report outlined current arrangements for the provision of Bromley’s Integrated Community Equipment Service and set out options for future procurement. The contract, which was commissioned through the London Community Equipment Consortium (London Consortium) as a call-off contract, ended on 31^st March 2021. Authorisation was sought to re-procure the service through continued membership of the London Consortium, which could include extending the current contract for a further year.

The report had been scrutinised at the Adult Care and Health PDS Committee meeting on 25^th June 2019 and the Committee supported the proposals.

RESOLVED that

(1) The Council participates in a joint re-tendering exercise through the London Consortium.

(2) An extension to the current contract with Medequip to the value of £2m be agreed, should it be required, under the London Consortium framework for up to one year commencing on 1^st April 2021, to enable the tendering process to be undertaken.
