The £1m fund aims to support the public access of AED's by distributing AED's to local communities across England. The DHSC is issuing this notice to alert potential suppliers to the forthcoming DHSC procurement. Interested suppliers should review the attached specification which has been revised following Market Engagement earlier in the year (Market Engagement notice can be found at: [contractsfinder.service.gov.uk](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/ec836af6-2f8e-4867-bcbf-bfaae5f0dcf5?origin=SearchResults&p=1) ) Interested suppliers should also complete the below actions. \*\*Actions for Suppliers:\*\* The opportunity will be open only to those suppliers who are on the Crown Commercial Service Fund Administration & Disbursement Services DPS (FAADS) (Agreement ID: RM6322).
