Haringey Adaptation Services

Haringey Council is keen to engage the provider market in shaping the new service, for the provision of Stairlifts, Step lifts, Through floor lifts and Ceiling Track Hoists.

In common with all Councils, Haringey Council is facing unprecedented pressures on its Adult Social Services, with increased demand due to demographic changes, new legislation, and changes to local government financial systems.

The demands on Adult Social Services are becoming more pressured with the number of referrals for adaptations increasing year on year. The council is seeking to streamline the provision of specific specialist adaptations, namely Stairlifts, Step Lifts, Through Floor Lifts and Ceiling Track Hoists.

The scope should address areas such as anticipated demand or volumes, whether the supplier is to supply only, supply and install, provide training, provide support documentation, etc. and, where appropriate, should identify specifically what is not included.

The Council is committed to working with the marketplace to maximise the commissioning opportunities to be gained under this contract.

The market engagement event will include a presentation of the proposed commissioning model and it will offer potential service providers the opportunity to raise any questions prior to proceeding to the Invitation to Tender phase of our commissioning programme.
