Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the Borough of Kirklees has appointed a provider for its Technology Enabled Lives service. The requirement is described as repair and maintenance of medical equipment, with delivery in Huddersfield. The service sits within the council’s Technology Enabled Lives provision and is intended to support its use of technology-enabled services. The appointment was made through the Northern Housing Consortium’s framework. The procurement is categorised as goods in the published data, although the stated requirement is a provider service for Technology Enabled Lives. The named contracting buyer is Northern Housing Consortium Limited; Kirklees Council is identified as the organisation whose service the appointment supports. This is a focused requirement for suppliers working with medical equipment repair and maintenance in a technology-enabled care context.

The procurement is complete and the award is active. Chiptech International Ltd was selected under a selective call-off from the Northern Housing Consortium’s Technology Enabled Lives framework. The award was made on 19 October 2026. The awarded value is £3,640. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 6 September 2027. The response deadline was 19 August 2026. The award information identifies one supplier and one contract period; no separate lots or lot-specific awards are recorded. The process data does not describe the detailed evaluation criteria or how bids were scored, so the recorded basis is the framework call-off route rather than a stated price or quality weighting.

This award shows demand from Kirklees for a provider able to support Technology Enabled Lives through medical equipment repair and maintenance. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need relevant equipment servicing capability and the operational capacity to support the council’s technology-enabled care provision over a defined service period. The selected supplier, Chiptech International Ltd, is recorded as an SME, and the opportunity was considered suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The framework call-off route is commercially important: suppliers would need to be appointed to the Northern Housing Consortium framework to compete through this route. The requirement is specific rather than a broad healthcare procurement, so experience in maintaining medical equipment in a technology-enabled living context would be more relevant than general goods supply.
