Summary of the contracting process

Vivid Housing Limited appointed a Technology Enabled Lives provider for its housing services. The work is described as a provider appointment rather than a detailed list of equipment or services, so the requirement is most directly relevant to suppliers delivering technology-enabled living solutions. Vivid Housing is based in Portsmouth, where the service is to be delivered. The procurement was managed through the Northern Housing Consortium, which provides the framework used for the appointment.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Appello Smart Living Solutions Ltd. The award was made on 16 October 2026, following a selective process conducted as a call-off from the Northern Housing Consortium’s Technology Enabled Lives framework. The awarded contract value is £601,782.63. The contract period runs from 2 November 2026 to 1 May 2027, a six-month appointment. The original tender submission deadline was 16 October 2026. The award data does not set out evaluation criteria or explain how bids were assessed.

This award demonstrates demand from Vivid Housing for a Technology Enabled Lives provider, with delivery in Portsmouth and procurement through the Northern Housing Consortium’s framework. Suppliers positioned for comparable work would need to provide technology-enabled living services and be able to deliver an appointment of this scale. The procurement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, and the appointed supplier is an SME. A credible competitor would therefore include smaller specialist providers as well as larger organisations with relevant delivery capability. The contract information does not describe specific products, technical standards, accreditations or staffing requirements, so the clearest evidence of fit is experience and capacity to provide the same type of service through this framework route.
