Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the Borough of Kirklees has completed a procurement process titled "Telecare Alarm Receiving Centre," focusing on the services industry under the digital switching equipment category. This process was managed as a further competition under the Northern Housing Consortium Framework, Lot 1 - Product Catalogue. Located in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom, the procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The tendering period closed on 8th October 2025, and the award stage was updated on 20th May 2026. The contract began on 5th February 2026 and is set to end on 4th February 2031, with three potential one-year extensions available. The contract's total estimated value is £1,030,949.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses experienced in digital switching and telecare technologies, particularly those adept at working within framework agreements. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate due to the suitability criteria set by the council. The awarded supplier, E.Novation UK Ltd trading as Enovation, is an SME, which underscores the project's openness to smaller enterprises capable of delivering innovative telecare solutions. Businesses with expertise in providing reliable, scalable digital services in the telecare sector, alongside experience in framework agreements, are well-positioned to compete successfully for similar contracts.
