Derby Integrated Community Equipment Service provides a range of equipment on loan to people of all ages ordinarily resident in the city of Derby, following assessment and prescription by a recognized prescriber.

The partners are represented on a Partnership Board, which meets quarterly to provide oversight and strategic direction to the Service. An Operational Managers Groups reports into the Partnership Board and is responsible for ensuring that Board decisions are implemented effectively by all partners, and resolving any operational issues.
The service being commissioned is non-clinical and relates purely to the logistics of supplying, collecting and maintaining the equipment.

The provider will work within this framework, ensuring that the agreed clinical governance arrangements, both for individual items of equipment and strategic decisions about the equipment to be provided/policies and procedures for equipment provision, are followed appropriately.

two.2.4) Description of the procurement
NHS Derby and Derbyshire Clinical Commissioning Group wish to appoint a provider to manage the logistical arrangements for providing medical equipment and consumables for patients living in the community.

4. Any other patient who the CCG considers it is reasonable to support through this service
The service will consist of the following elements:
• The ordering of medical equipment and/or consumables from NHS Supply Chain, and/or other medical product suppliers if the required goods are not available through NHS Supply Chain.
