Summary of the contracting process

Saxon Weald procured installation of digital converters for its telecare equipment, preparing the equipment for the digital switch. The work is installation of telecommunications equipment and is classified as a service. Delivery is in England. The requirement is focused on converting existing telecare equipment rather than supplying a general telecommunications service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Tunstall Healthcare (UK) Limited through a direct award under the Procurement for Housing Technologies for Independent Living framework, Lot 1. The award date was 30 July 2026. The award value was £177,000. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The original tender deadline was 24 June 2026. The requirement was handled as a single framework lot; evaluation criteria are not reported in the process information.

For suppliers considering this requirement when Saxon Weald next needs telecare equipment converted, the award demonstrates demand for installation work that prepares telecare systems for the digital switch. A credible competitor would need practical capability in installing digital converters and working with telecare equipment, as well as the operational capacity to deliver the installation across England. The route used was a direct award through the Procurement for Housing Technologies for Independent Living framework, so framework membership and eligibility for its relevant technology lot would be important to compete through the same route. The award went to a large healthcare supplier, indicating that experience delivering telecare-related installation at organisational scale may strengthen a supplier’s position.
