As part of Liverpool City Council’s ICT disposal contract, 27 refurbished devices—including laptops, tablets, and mobile phones—have been donated to Woodlands Hospice. With an estimated value of £1,900, this equipment will help patients, and their families stay connected and create meaningful moments during end-of-life care.
Liverpool City Council’s ICT disposal contract ensures that redundant IT equipment is securely wiped, sustainably processed, and, where possible, refurbished for reuse. Through this contract, managed in partnership with Asset Lifecycle Solutions, devices that are no longer needed by the Council are given a second life—supporting local organisations and delivering social value to the community.
This decision was made in line with the supplier’s social value commitments, which were set out as part of their proposal during the procurement process.
Hayley Smallman, Manager at Woodlands Hospice, said:
“We are incredibly grateful for this amazing donation to Woodlands Hospice. The refurbished equipment will truly enhance the experience for our people and their families, helping them stay connected and share memories at the most difficult time of their life. It is truly inspiring to see social value delivered in such a meaningful and compassionate way, and we deeply appreciate the generosity shown by Liverpool City Council in collaboration with the wonderful team at Asset Lifecycle Solutions”
Deputy Council Leader, Cllr Ruth Bennett said: “This donation is a direct outcome of the Council’s commitment to embedding social value into its procurement processes. It highlights how contracts can deliver more than just services—they can bring real, human benefits to our communities.
