## Description
Notice of Award for the Framework Agreement of the London Community Equipment Consortium tender. 
Local authorities in England have a statutory duty to plan for the provision of certain home-based services, including the provision of disability aids and "community equipment", to meet the assessed eligible needs of service users who are ordinarily resident in their area. The supply of Community Equipment is a statutory duty under:
• Care Act 2014 (Adult Social Care only)
• Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act 1970
• Children and Families Act 2014
• National Health Service Act 2006
• Health and Safety at Work act 1974 and Regulations
