Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Luton Council procured digital lifelines equipment and related services to support resilience. The requirement covers telecare alarms with dual connectivity, including associated smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms and other peripherals. It also includes the supporting digital and alarm-monitoring services needed for these products. This is primarily a goods procurement, with associated IT, software, monitoring and community-service elements. Delivery is linked to Luton, with the procurement listing the United Kingdom and wider delivery locations. The requirement is relevant to suppliers of connected telecare equipment, personal safety alarms, fire and carbon-monoxide detection products, and the software, connectivity, support or monitoring services needed to operate them.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Luton Council used a call-off from the ESPO Framework Agreement 203_25. Bids closed on 28 July 2026 at 9:30am, the award was made on 29 July 2026, and the contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The awarded supplier is Chiptech international Limited, for £627,768 including the stated contract value. The published estimated range was £523,140 to £627,768. The procurement is recorded as a completed goods requirement, with the framework call-off route determining how the supplier was selected. The contract covers the same lifelines equipment and associated services described above.

This award indicates established demand from Luton Council for resilient, digitally connected telecare and associated safety equipment. A credible future competitor would need to supply dependable dual-connectivity lifelines, telecare alarms, smoke and carbon-monoxide alarms, and compatible peripherals at council-wide scale. It would also need the technical capability to provide or integrate software, connectivity, alarm monitoring, installation or operational support, depending on the requirement when it returns. Experience of safeguarding-oriented services, reliable fault handling, service continuity and support for vulnerable users would strengthen a supplier’s position. The buyer’s chosen route also shows that access to the relevant ESPO framework, and the ability to deliver through its call-off arrangements, is commercially important.
