What is being bought

Published requirement description

Hampshire County Council is inviting feedback from suppliers of Community Equipment to inform future procurement strategies that support independent living. This engagement aims to ensure the continued provision of high-quality, cost-effective equipment that meets both health and social care needs across Hampshire.

Key Objectives of the Engagement:

  • Explore available procurement models for community equipment.
  • Identify challenges associated with current approaches, including Framework Agreements.
  • Understand supplier capabilities in delivery, logistics, and service provision.
  • Strengthen collaboration between suppliers and commissioning teams.

Currently, the Council’s Community Equipment Service procures approximately 35,000 items annually. Supplier insights will be instrumental in shaping a procurement approach that is innovative, sustainable, and responsive to the needs of Hampshire residents.
