The community equipment provider delivering the outsourced Community Equipment service - Find a freedom of information request

Request

1. I would like to know what inflationary percentage increase the Council has agreed to pay and/or has paid to the community equipment provider delivering the outsourced Community Equipment service over the past 2 years, please.

Please break down the inflationary increase attributable to products and activity fees if possible.

Decision

I can confirm that the information requested is held by Lincolnshire County Council. I have detailed below the information that is being released to you.

1. No inflationary increase was given in FY 2023-24 because the service was retendered during 2022 for a new contract to commence in April 2023, hence the price for the current year was set as part of the competitive tender process.

During the previous contract year (FY 2022-23) there was an average increase in equipment fees of 6.9%.

No inflationary increase in activity fees was applied during FY 2022-23.
