Summary of the contracting process

Crawley Borough Council appointed Tunstall Healthcare (UK) Ltd to provide Technology Enabled Lives services in Crawley. The procurement is classified as medical equipment repair and maintenance, although the description identifies the requirement as a Technology Enabled Lives provider appointment. The published delivery location is associated with Crawley. The buyer is Crawley Borough Council; the appointment was made through the Northern Housing Consortium’s Technology Enabled Lives framework. This is a technology-enabled care requirement, relevant to providers able to support the council’s Technology Enabled Lives service. The procurement is categorised as goods in the structured data, while its stated purpose is provision of a service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Tunstall Healthcare (UK) Ltd on 25 September 2026. The award value is £128,362.33. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 January 2027, a four-month appointment. The council used a selective framework call-off under the Northern Housing Consortium’s Technology Enabled Lives framework. The process records a single requirement, with no separate lot awards. The deadline recorded for submissions was 25 September 2026. The award information does not set out an evaluation basis or supplier-specific selection criteria, so the outcome confirms the framework route and selected provider rather than describing how competing offers were scored.

For suppliers who did not win, this appointment is evidence that Crawley Borough Council buys Technology Enabled Lives provision through the Northern Housing Consortium framework, including short-term provider appointments. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to deliver technology-enabled care services for a local authority and be eligible to compete through the relevant framework route. The award went to a large healthcare provider, indicating that the selected supplier was able to take on the council’s requirement at this scale. The procurement also identifies medical equipment repair and maintenance, so firms with capability in maintaining relevant equipment may find that expertise pertinent, although the stated appointment is as a Technology Enabled Lives provider. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises were marked as suitable for the procurement.
