Non-Urgent Community Equipment Services Contract
Waltham Forest Council secured non-urgent community equipment services in late 2025 after a previous provider's insolvency.
Waltham Forest Council used special urgency powers in October 2025 to ensure the continuation of non-urgent community equipment services after the insolvency of its previous provider, NRS Healthcare. This action was taken to prevent disruption to critical services for residents, according to a Use of Special Urgency Provisions report.
In September 2025, the council approved spending £656,149 on an emergency Integrated Community Equipment Service, directly awarding two contracts to Enabled Living. This 23-week contract, with an option for a six-month extension, went live on 3 September 2025 to facilitate non-urgent community equipment orders.
