Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City of Lincoln Council appointed a Technology Enabled Lives provider to support services in Lincoln, under the Northern Housing Consortium’s Technology Enabled Lives framework. The requirement is classified as repair and maintenance services for medical equipment, with the procurement categorised primarily as goods. The service is to be delivered in Lincoln, at the council’s area associated with postcode LN1 1DE. Careium UK Ltd is the appointed provider. The arrangement concerns technology-enabled support rather than a general medical equipment supply requirement, so it is most relevant to businesses providing technology-enabled care or life services, alongside associated equipment maintenance and support. The Northern Housing Consortium managed the framework route used for the appointment.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 10 March 2026, and the contract was awarded to Careium UK Ltd on 10 September 2026. The awarded value is £468,000. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2031, giving a five-year term. The stated evaluation basis is the framework call-off route rather than a standalone open competition. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. There was one awarded supplier and no lots are described. The procurement relates specifically to the City of Lincoln requirement under the Northern Housing Consortium framework.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates an established local requirement for Technology Enabled Lives provision linked to medical equipment maintenance. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable capability in delivering technology-enabled care or life services, maintaining and supporting relevant medical equipment, and operating reliably for a public-sector housing or local authority customer. Experience of framework call-offs would be useful because this buyer used a pre-existing Northern Housing Consortium framework rather than running a standalone competition. Suppliers should also be able to manage a sustained service covering the council’s Lincoln area, with sufficient operational capacity for a multi-year arrangement. The stated suitability for SMEs and VCSEs indicates that smaller specialist providers may be relevant competitors.
