Summary of the contracting process

Progress Housing Association Limited, based in Leyland, appointed a Technology Enabled Lives provider to support its housing and care services. The requirement covers technology-enabled living provision, including the repair and maintenance of medical equipment (CPV 50421000). The work is delivered for Progress Housing Association in Leyland, Lancashire, under the Northern Housing Consortium’s Technology Enabled Lives framework. Northern Housing Consortium Limited is the framework buyer, while Progress Housing Association is the organisation receiving the service. The procurement is categorised as goods, although the requirement involves an ongoing provider service covering technology and associated medical-equipment support. The selected provider is Tunstall Healthcare (UK) Ltd.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement rather than an open tender. Tunstall Healthcare (UK) Ltd received the award on 12 August 2026 for £30,000 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2028, giving a 19-month appointment. The original tender submission deadline was 12 August 2026. The award was made under the Northern Housing Consortium’s Technology Enabled Lives framework, identified in the description as Contract Award Notice 2024/S 000-000849. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers assessing future Technology Enabled Lives requirements from Progress Housing Association, this award demonstrates demand for a provider able to combine technology-enabled living solutions with reliable medical-equipment repair and maintenance. Credible competitors would need relevant technical capability, dependable servicing arrangements and experience supporting equipment used by housing or care-service users. They would also need to understand delivery through a housing-sector framework call-off, including the operational discipline required to provide continuity throughout the appointment. The selected supplier is a large healthcare technology business, but the procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that smaller or socially focused providers with specialist capability may be able to compete in future framework opportunities.
