The report recommends:
1) The extension of the existing community equipment service, which
is provided by Medequip Assistive Technology Ltd.
2) The procurement of new framework agreement for community
equipment services, which will also be accessible by other public
authorities in London. (It is anticipated that H&F will then
access and use its new framework agreement for community equipment
when its extended equipment service expires.)
3) That authority to award the new community equipment contracts is
delegated to the cabinet member for health and adult social
care.
