Contract Summary
Stoke on Trent City Council currently provides an in-house Telecare Service offer, renowned for its gold standard across all elements. The Telecare Service provides assistive technology services to self-funders in the Stoke-on-Trent and immediate-surrounding area, and to adult social care clients in Stoke-on-Trent. The service includes: - Assessment of telecare equipment requirements, - Purchase, provision, maintenance and recycling of relevant equipment, - monitoring of activations, medical triage of emergency calls and taking actions to meet people's requirements (using response service wherever safe to do so, rather than ambulance callout), - 24/7 emergency response including attendance at the person's house, medical triage, taking vital signs, moving people from floor to bed/chair using lifting equipment and safe moving techniques and welfare visits. Our internal service is currently supporting 4500 clients overall, each of whom have access to emergency response and 24/7 services. The service operates to the following targets: - Answering activations = 99% within 1 minute, 99.5% within 3 minutes. This does not include where calls are answered and put on hold. - Emergency responses = 90% of responses within 45 minutes of alarm activation - Installation = urgent installations within 2 working days, standard installations within 10 working days - Digital-ready = all new installations will be digitally-equipped; all equipment and call handling infrastructure will be completely digital by 31 December 2025. The council wishes to continue fulfilling its current services to the same high standard, though recognises the need to engage with the innovative providers within the market to better understand the wider offer which may be available in an ever-developing digital service area.
