Summary of the contracting process

The East Riding of Yorkshire Council is currently conducting a procurement process titled "Social Care Innovation Programme New to Market Products," focused on the design and execution of research and development services in the social care sector. This initiative, with a budget of £1.5 million funded partly by the European Regional Development Fund and Northern Powerhouse, aims to identify and develop innovative technologies that address key challenges faced by social care providers. The procurement is at the Tender stage, with submissions due by 13 January 2022, and encompasses multiple lots targeting specific areas such as infection control, fall reduction, communication enhancement, and medication management across the Yorkshire region.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for businesses involved in technology development, particularly those with solutions applicable to the social care sector. Companies that specialise in medical equipment, pharmaceutical products, software development, or IT services will find this procurement particularly relevant. By engaging in this innovation partnership, eligible suppliers can help shape the future of care provision, enhance their market presence, and potentially secure long-term contracts for new-to-market products aimed at improving the quality and efficiency of social care services.

Notice Title

Social Care Innovation Programme New to Market Products

Notice Description

The East Riding of Yorkshire Council and the University of Hull have received part funding from the European Regional Development Fund and Northern Powerhouse to support a PS1.5 million project to drive innovation in the social care sector. The Social Care Innovation Programme employs a research-led approach, identifying the key challenges for social care providers, and the smart technologies that can be implemented to support them in reducing the challenges they face. The project is seeking solutions which will be new to the social care market that will meet identified needs. These identified needs are outlined in the specification, but as the solution will be new to the care market the solution may be something else. New to social care market means that the solution may be in use in another market and might need slight amendments to meet the requirements of the care sector or it might be a partially developed solution that has not been finalised or taken to the market yet.

Lot Information

Social Care Innovation Programme New to Market Products

The Social Care Innovation Programme (SCIP) is a PS1.5M project, part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund and Northern Powerhouse. Led by East Riding of Yorkshire Council, with the University of Hull as a delivery partner, SCIP seeks to enhance the productivity, sustainability and quality of care provision through the effective use of innovative technologies. One element of SCIP is the development, piloting and evaluation of a small number of 'new-to-market' (new to the care market) products. Since commencing the project, we have worked with care providers to identify particular areas where gaps in technology and service availability may exist and where SCIP should focus support. We are therefore seeking proposals for the development of innovative technologies in key areas where a need has been identified. A minimum of four solutions will be progressed through innovation partnerships - one solution may cover multiple areas of development, or we may progress more than one solution in a particular area.

Lot 1. Infection control in residential care settings

Good infection control has always been a fundamental element of high-quality care in care settings. However, the COVID pandemic has reinforced the importance of infection control to enhance the safety of service users and staff. We are seeking proposals for new-to-market infection control technologies that can support the provision of safe residential care.

Lot 2. Reducing the prevalence and impact of falls

Within both residential care and domiciliary care settings, falls can have a substantial impact on the health and wellbeing of service users. There are examples of technologies being used to mitigate falls (notably through wearable or environmental falls detectors).

Lot 3. Enhancing communication with recipients of care

The COVID pandemic has brought into sharp focus some of the challenges of maintaining communication with recipients of care in a time when face-to-face interaction can be limited. In particular, providers have had to develop new approaches to facilitating remote communication between care home residents and their family/friends, utilising platforms such as Zoom and FaceTime. For service users in their own home, limitations on face-to-face visits have exacerbated social isolation and loneliness.

Lot 4. Systems to optimise preparation for CQC inspections

CQC inspections are a critical mechanism for ensuring the quality of social care services and enhancing the wellbeing of service users. From an organisational perspective, they also support ongoing quality enhancement and can support the competitiveness and sustainability of social care providers. There are systems available that support organisational preparation for CQC inspections, we believe that there remains a gap in the market for systems that underpin quality and evidence required.

Lot 5: Systems to optimise the utilisation and wellbeing of domiciliary care providers

CQC inspections are a critical mechanism for ensuring the quality of social care services and enhancing the wellbeing of service users. From an organisational perspective, they also support ongoing quality enhancement and can - in terms of outcome - support the competitiveness and sustainability of social care providers. Though there are systems available that support organisational preparation for CQC inspections, we believe that there remains a gap in the market for further development of systems that underpin quality enhancement and the evidence of this required within CQC inspection.

Lot 6. Innovations in medication management

Effective medication management is a critical element of social care, whether related to safer medication administration in care settings or promoting safe and effective administration and recording of medication by care organisation in a person's own home.
