NHS North East London Integrated Care Board (NEL ICB) wish to commission an integrated wheelchair service for people of all ages who have a long-term need for mobility assistance in Barking, Havering, Redbridge, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest.

• Rehabilitation Engineering facilities (RE)
• Service and Maintenance Packages (AR)
Our mission is to use innovative, personalised, high quality wheelchair/single sitting solutions to enable and empower residents to maximise their independence, and best support their health and wellbeing.
