Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Castles and Coasts Housing Association, based in Carlisle, appointed a Technology Enabled Lives provider to support its housing services. The requirement covers services associated with technology-enabled care and the repair and maintenance of medical equipment, classified under CPV 50421000. Delivery is associated with Carlisle, Cumbria, at the housing association’s CA3 8TT location. The procurement was managed through the Northern Housing Consortium’s Technology Enabled Lives framework, with the consortium acting as the framework buyer. The appointed provider is intended to deliver the technology-enabled lives service for Castles and Coasts rather than supply a one-off equipment purchase. This is a services contract and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from the Northern Housing Consortium’s Technology Enabled Lives framework. The award decision was made on 17 August 2026, following a tender deadline of 17 August 2026. Appello Careline Ltd was appointed as supplier for £279,532.96 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 13 September 2028. The arrangement provides for two further extensions, each lasting one year, giving a possible additional two years. The award is active. The published description identifies the Technology Enabled Lives requirement and the framework call-off route; no separate scoring or evaluation weighting is stated in the available procurement details.

This award provides a clear indication of demand from Castles and Coasts Housing Association for an integrated Technology Enabled Lives service linked to housing provision. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in technology-enabled care, dependable repair and maintenance of medical equipment, and the operational capacity to support residents across the requirement location. Experience of delivering responsive care technology services for housing or similar public-sector settings would strengthen a supplier’s position. Suppliers would also need to understand the Northern Housing Consortium framework route, or the relevant successor purchasing arrangements, because this requirement was awarded as a framework call-off rather than through an open standalone competition. The opportunity was marked as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, so smaller specialist providers and social enterprises may be well placed to develop a compliant offer.
