Summary of the contracting process

Warrington Borough Council appointed a provider for its Technology Enabled Lives requirement in Warrington. The procurement is for technology-enabled living provision; the published description does not break this down into particular devices or services. The appointment was made through the Northern Housing Consortium’s framework. Warrington Borough Council is the public body identified as using the service, while the Northern Housing Consortium provided the framework route. The requirement is described as a provider appointment rather than a detailed list of equipment, installation or support tasks, so suppliers should treat the stated scope as technology-enabled lives provision for the council rather than assume additional service elements.

The procurement is complete and Tunstall Healthcare (UK) Ltd was selected. The award was made on 15 September 2026, with the contract running from 15 October 2026 to 14 October 2027. The awarded value is £51,288.35. The council used a selective procedure, placing a call-off under the Northern Housing Consortium’s Technology Enabled Lives framework. The submission period ended on 15 September 2026. The procurement data identifies one award and one supplier, with no lot breakdown. The requirement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No detailed scoring criteria are stated in the available procurement information.

For suppliers considering comparable Technology Enabled Lives requirements from Warrington Borough Council, this award demonstrates a defined, year-long provider appointment at a modest scale, made through the Northern Housing Consortium framework rather than a standalone open competition. Credible competitors would need to provide technology-enabled living provision and be positioned to supply the council through the framework’s call-off route. The procurement identifies SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises as suitable, so smaller and mission-led providers can be relevant competitors as well as larger suppliers. Tunstall Healthcare (UK) Ltd, a large supplier, was selected, showing that the buyer accepted a provider with established organisational scale. The published scope does not identify specific devices, technical standards or service capabilities, so the award alone does not establish more detailed qualification requirements.
