Summary of the contracting process

Redditch Borough Council appointed a provider for Technology Enabled Lives services in Redditch, supporting the delivery and maintenance of technology-enabled living equipment. The procurement is categorised as repair and maintenance services for medical equipment (CPV 50421000), although the main procurement category is goods. The service is intended for Redditch Borough Council and is described as being based in Birmingham, UK. The appointment was made through the Northern Housing Consortium’s Technology Enabled Lives framework, which provides the procurement route for this requirement. The selected provider is Careium UK Ltd, a large UK supplier. The requirement is relevant to businesses supplying, maintaining or supporting technology-enabled living and associated medical equipment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 2 September 2026 to Careium UK Ltd. It is a selective, competitive call-off from the Northern Housing Consortium’s Technology Enabled Lives framework, rather than an open tender. The awarded value is £600,000 excluding any further detail on tax treatment. The contract runs from 15 March 2027 to 14 March 2031. Redditch Borough Council is the named public-sector customer, while Northern Housing Consortium Limited manages the framework route. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active, and Careium UK Ltd is the sole recorded supplier.

This award demonstrates a substantial, multi-year requirement for Technology Enabled Lives provision in Redditch and shows that the council uses a framework call-off to appoint its provider. Businesses considering future work for this buyer should be able to supply or maintain technology-enabled living equipment and demonstrate credible delivery of services connected with medical equipment. Framework access is commercially important, since the selected route was a call-off rather than an open competition. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist providers and socially focused organisations may be well placed to build relevant capability and secure a position on an appropriate framework before a comparable requirement returns.
