Rehabilitation Engineering and Wheelchair Maintenance
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
The Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust is currently in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "Rehabilitation Engineering and Wheelchair Maintenance." This initiative falls under the services category and is aimed at supporting individuals with complex physical disabilities. The procurement is based at the Bowley Close Regional Rehabilitation Centre in London.
The preliminary market engagement phase is scheduled to inform a potential future tender exercise and will remain open until 13 June 2025. Interested parties are invited to express their interest and provide relevant information before this deadline. This planning process positions the Trust as a central government public authority operating within the healthcare industry, seeking services related to the repair and maintenance of wheelchairs, rehabilitation hospital services, and more, with an anticipated contract period beginning on 1 April 2026.
This tender opportunity creates a gateway for businesses to expand within healthcare service sectors, specifically those involved in repair, maintenance, and technical rehabilitation engineering. The approximate contract value is projected at £6 million, emphasising significant business growth potential for SMEs and VCSEs with expertise in wheelchair servicing and rehabilitation solutions. Companies with experience in bespoke postural solutions, mobility devices, prosthetics, orthotics, and assistive communication devices would be well-positioned to compete.
The procurement approach will be refined following the market consultation phase, ensuring that businesses have ample time to prepare for the formal tendering process expected later in 2025.
The Trust is undertaking a preliminary market engagement exercise to inform a potential future procurement of the Rehabilitation Engineering and Wheelchair Maintenance Service to Bowley Close Regional Rehabilitation Centre based at Guy's & St Thomas's NHS Foundation Trust. The service currently supports children and adults with complex and long-term physical disabilities across south east London and beyond. Key elements include the delivery, repair, configuration, maintenance (including emergency response), servicing for reuse, and technical rehabilitation engineering input for bespoke postural, mobility solutions, prosthetic, orthotic & assistive communication devices.
