Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Middlesbrough Council appointed a Technology Enabled Lives provider to supply and support technology-enabled care services in Middlesbrough, United Kingdom. The requirement is classified as repair and maintenance services for medical equipment (CPV 50421000) and is categorised primarily as goods. The service is intended to support people through technology-enabled living, with associated equipment maintenance forming part of the requirement. Delivery is linked to the TS1 2DT postcode area in Middlesbrough. The appointment was made through the Northern Housing Consortium’s Technology Enabled Lives framework, with the council as the end user. This is therefore relevant to suppliers of assistive technology, connected care equipment, medical-device maintenance and related technology-enabled support services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Middlesbrough Council selected Chiptech International Ltd on 14 August 2026. The award value is £200,000. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028, with the procurement description providing an option to extend for a further two years. The route was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, specifically the Northern Housing Consortium’s Technology Enabled Lives framework. The tender’s stated estimated value was also £200,000. The contract award was made under the related Technology Enabled Lives framework process, rather than through an open competition for all suppliers. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award shows a defined requirement from Middlesbrough Council for technology-enabled care provision combined with medical-equipment repair and maintenance. Suppliers competing when this requirement returns would need credible assistive-technology or connected-care products, dependable maintenance and repair capability, and the operational capacity to support users throughout the service. Experience of delivering Technology Enabled Lives services would be directly relevant, as would the ability to manage equipment, faults, servicing and ongoing customer support as one service. The procurement was suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist providers and social-value-led organisations may be well placed if they can demonstrate suitable technical delivery, service continuity and user-focused support. Framework access is also commercially important because this buyer used a framework call-off route.
