The Covid-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact on Care Home visiting and interactivity with social care and health professionals in Care Homes. The Council require a system that enables personalised care of every resident particularly those living with dementia. The system must meet the following Infection Prevention Fund conditions: * Safe Visiting: The system must provide information to families on activities, food and drink intake of their loved ones, the system will enable video calling. * Limiting movements and cohorting: The system must support those who walk with purpose and should reduce hospital admissions for those with dementia and Alzheimer's

Procurement Information

The procurement has been awarded utilising the negotiated procedure without prior publication utilising regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) "competition is absent for technical reasons". This is a compliant route to market under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 and Council's Contract Procedure Rules. The contract will be awarded following a 10 day standstill period concluding on 29/03/2021. Due to the proprietary nature of the Reminiscence Interactive Therapy / Activity (RITA) System the Council believes that competition is absent for technical reasons and it is unlikely that there are other systems/contractors presently available with similar system capabilities. The system will be gifted to care providers after the initial 3 year period.
