Description
The Local Authority is undertaking an initial market engagement exercise to develop a clearer understanding of the Community Equipment Service (CES) delivery models currently operating across the market, with a particular focus on property and premises arrangements. Further market engagement activity will be undertaken at a later stage. As part of this exercise, we would welcome views from established CES providers on the following areas: -The availability and suitability of provider-owned premises that allow for the delivery of all responsible services outlined above. -Models where the local authority owns or leases premises that are occupied by the provider -Approaches to property maintenance and repair responsibilities -Provider preferences, including associated risks, benefits, and practical considerations Please answer the questionnaire by 4pm on Thursday 14th May 2026. All responses will be treated as confidential and not shared with other organisations, however, the final specification and tender model may be influenced by this and other stakeholders. This engagement is focused on property and premises considerations only. The Authority expects to undertake further market engagement in the near future covering broader aspects of Community Equipment Service delivery.
