Summary of the contracting process

Progress Housing Group, based in Leyland, appointed a provider for Technology Enabled Lives services. The requirement is categorised as repair and maintenance services for medical equipment, covering the technology-enabled support delivered to the housing group’s service users. The work is delivered for Progress Housing Group in Leyland, England. Northern Housing Consortium Limited is the buying organisation and arranged the procurement through its housing procurement framework. The appointed service concerns Technology Enabled Lives rather than general housing maintenance, so it is relevant to suppliers providing connected care, telecare, assistive technology or related medical equipment support and maintenance. The requirement is classified as a service and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. It was run as a selective call-off from the Northern Housing Consortium’s Technology Enabled Lives framework. Tunstall Healthcare (UK) Ltd was awarded the contract on 5 March 2026 for £140,000. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, giving a one-year service period. The tender closing date was 5 March 2026. The award was made under the framework rather than through an open standalone tender. The published requirement identifies one service scope for Progress Housing Group, with evaluation and selection conducted through the framework’s call-off arrangements. Tunstall Healthcare (UK) Ltd is the active awarded supplier for the full stated contract value and period.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates a defined housing-sector requirement for Technology Enabled Lives services and medical equipment maintenance at a substantial service scale. A credible competitor would need to provide dependable connected-care or telecare technology, maintain and repair associated medical equipment, and support service users consistently across the buyer’s housing operations. Experience of delivering Technology Enabled Lives services for housing providers would strengthen a future response, particularly where the supplier can show reliable technical support, responsive maintenance and continuity of service. The route to market is also important: suppliers would need to understand the Northern Housing Consortium framework and be capable of competing for its call-offs. The opportunity is expressly suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, although the selected provider was a large organisation.
