Summary of the contracting process

Milton Keynes Council appointed Chiptech International Ltd to provide Technology Enabled Lives services in Milton Keynes, UK. The requirement covers technology-enabled support and associated repair and maintenance of medical equipment, classified under CPV 50421000. The service is intended to support people through technology-enabled living arrangements, with the appointed provider responsible for delivering the required equipment-related service. The procurement was conducted through the Northern Housing Consortium’s Technology Enabled Lives framework, with the council as the local service user and the consortium acting as the framework buyer. The procurement is categorised as goods, although the requirement includes an ongoing provider service and medical-equipment maintenance activity.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. Milton Keynes Council appointed Chiptech International Ltd on 11 August 2026 through a selective framework call-off procedure. The award value is £57,600. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 23 March 2027, described as seven months, with an option to extend for a further one month. The award is active. The framework route means the competition took place through an existing Northern Housing Consortium arrangement rather than as a standalone open tender. The published outcome identifies Chiptech International Ltd as the selected supplier. The underlying requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award indicates a defined local requirement for suppliers able to provide Technology Enabled Lives solutions alongside reliable repair and maintenance of medical equipment. Credible competitors for a future requirement would need practical capability in technology-enabled care or support, equipment supply and servicing, fault response, maintenance coordination and delivery to users in Milton Keynes. Experience of working with councils, housing providers or care-related services would help demonstrate an understanding of safeguarding, continuity of support and user-focused delivery. Suppliers should also be able to operate through an appropriate framework or other structured public procurement route, because this appointment was made as a framework call-off. The stated suitability for SMEs and VCSEs suggests that smaller specialist providers may be relevant competitors.
