Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Redditch Borough Council appointed a Technology Enabled Lives provider for services delivered in Redditch, supporting technology-enabled care and related equipment for people using council services. The requirement is classified as medical equipment repair and maintenance services (CPV 50421000), although its main procurement category is goods. The appointment was made through the Northern Housing Consortium’s Technology Enabled Lives framework, with the consortium acting as the buying organisation for the framework call-off. The selected provider is Chiptech International Ltd, an SME based in Lancaster. The opportunity is relevant to suppliers of technology-enabled care solutions, connected care equipment, and associated medical equipment maintenance services that can support delivery for Redditch Borough Council.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement rather than an open standalone tender. Chiptech International Ltd was awarded the contract on 2 September 2026 for £600,000. The contract runs from 15 March 2027 to 14 March 2031, giving a four-year term. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. There were no lots: the award covers the Technology Enabled Lives requirement as a single appointment. The evaluation basis is reflected in the framework call-off route, with the framework providing the route for selecting the appointed provider. The recorded delivery location is Redditch, Worcestershire, identified by postcode B98 8AH.

The award demonstrates sustained demand from Redditch Borough Council for a Technology Enabled Lives provider over a multi-year service period. A credible future competitor would need to supply technology-enabled care solutions and maintain or support associated medical equipment, with the operational capacity to serve users in Redditch. Experience delivering connected care or technology-enabled living services would be directly relevant, alongside reliable equipment support and the ability to meet public-sector service requirements. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that this type of requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business. Suppliers would also need access to the Northern Housing Consortium’s Technology Enabled Lives framework, or an equivalent route available when the council’s requirement next reaches the market.
