Buckinghamshire Council has awarded a direct contract for Integrated Community Equipment Services to Millbrook Healthcare Ltd, effective from 31st July 2025 to 30th July 2028.

The procurement, classified within the health and social work services industry, took place in the UKJ13 region, involving a contract valued at GBP 60 million gross.
The council is committed to ensuring continuous and high-standard delivery of these vital services, which include supplying, installing, and maintaining mobility aids and adaptations. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, social care solutions, and equipment management. Large-scale companies, particularly those with expertise in technology-enabled care and recycling operations, would be ideally positioned to thrive in this environment due to the scope and scale of the services required.
With opportunities to support innovative solutions and optimise supply chains through data-driven contract management, businesses can contribute to sustainable community health outcomes while benefiting from substantial contract values.
This contract is for the provision of a Buckinghamshire Integrated Community Equipment Services (BICES) through the appointment of a single provider delivering those services as required.

It shall also include the collection of items no longer required, recycling of equipment and robust data gathering to support contract management. This service will ensure that residents in Buckinghamshire, who have either healthcare or social care needs (or a combination of both) are provided with high quality equipment, aids and/or adaptations that enable them to stay independent and live healthy lives for longer, and crucially to remain at home rather than requiring formal social and healthcare support.
