Summary of the contracting process

Bassetlaw District Council, based in Worksop, appointed a Technology Enabled Lives provider to support its local requirements. The work covers technology-enabled care and related medical equipment repair and maintenance services, including provision of the associated goods and services. Delivery is centred on Worksop, England. The appointment was made through the Northern Housing Consortium’s Technology Enabled Lives framework, which serves as the route for this council requirement. Tunstall Healthcare (UK) Ltd is the appointed provider. The procurement is relevant to businesses supplying technology-enabled care, telecare or similar equipment and services, particularly those able to support public-sector housing or community-care requirements in the Bassetlaw area. The procurement classification is medical equipment repair and maintenance services, CPV 50421000.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. Bassetlaw District Council selected Tunstall Healthcare (UK) Ltd on 23 April 2026 through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The awarded value is £1,260,000. The contract runs from 3 September 2026 to 2 September 2027, with the council having an option to extend it for a further one year at its discretion. The tender submission deadline was 23 April 2026. The requirement was evaluated and awarded through the Northern Housing Consortium’s Technology Enabled Lives framework rather than an open standalone competition. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, although the selected supplier is Tunstall Healthcare (UK) Ltd.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a useful indication of the type of supplier and capability required by Bassetlaw District Council for Technology Enabled Lives services. A credible future competitor would need to supply and support technology-enabled care equipment, provide dependable repair and maintenance for medical equipment, and manage delivery for a council serving local housing or community-care users. Experience of working through a public-sector framework or similar compliant purchasing route would be commercially important, as this requirement was placed as a framework call-off. The stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that smaller specialist providers and mission-led organisations may be capable of competing where they can demonstrate sufficient operational capacity, service resilience and relevant technical expertise.
