The Council is the lead organisation for the Consortium which is currently made up of the Council and the Partners identified in section VI.3 of this notice. The Consortium works together under partnership arrangements under the National Health Service Act 2006 and the Local Government Act 1972 (as applicable to the relevant Partner) to provide community equipment services to Essex residents who are eligible under the Health and Social Care Act 2006 and the Care Act 2014 (as applicable to the relevant Partner) across the administrative areas of the Consortium in Essex. To be noted that delivery of the Services extends to a wider geographic area to facilitate where service users may be located. Enabling people to remain independent, and to live as full a life as they can in their own home, is fundamental to the Consortium’s approach to supporting people. One of the principal ways that the Consortium does this is with the provision of equipment to people of all ages and needs across the administrative areas of the Consortium in Essex. The ICELS for Essex provides equipment on loan to people living in the community, based on clinical or assessed need, to enable them to do tasks they would otherwise be unable to do and/or to provide support to a Carer or care worker (including family members), to enable care and support to happen where required. The ICELS aims to: • enable and support people to live, age and die well. • provide the right solution, at the right time, in the right place, the first time. ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 98000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKH - **Estimated Value:** £140,000,000 - **Description:** Essex County Council on behalf of the Consortium invited tenders in November 2022 for provision of an integrated community equipment loan service for people of all ages and needs across Essex, providing such items as commodes, beds, shower chairs and... - **Renewal published:** yes - **Options published:** yes ## Awards & Winning Suppliers (1) - **Award:** Integrated Community Equipment Loan Service for Essex (active) - Award id: `009364-2023-0959-1` - Supplier(s): **Medequip Assistive Technology Limited** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-FTS-62501` - Value: £140,000,000 † (exc.
