Summary of the contracting process

Supply Chain Coordination Limited intends to establish a Technology Enabled Community Care framework for products and associated services that improve independence, safety, accessibility and communication for people with diverse needs. The scope covers communication aids, interface devices, environmental controls, access devices, accessories, environmental controllers, maintenance and support; mounting equipment for assistive technology and communication devices on wheelchairs, furniture, beds and other fixtures; patient alarms, sensors and related monitoring and safety technology; and lone worker devices and systems. This is primarily a goods procurement, covering medical aids, devices for disabled and older people, medical computer equipment, communications infrastructure and alarm systems. Delivery locations are not set out in the available procurement information.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has announced an intention to establish a framework agreement, rather than inviting tenders. The procurement is planned as a single lot, with a planned contract period from 1 September 2027 to 31 August 2031. The estimated value is £15 million excluding VAT, or £18 million including VAT. The buyer expects the next notice to be published on 1 December 2026. The lot is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The framework is intended to support the future supply of the full range of assistive technology, safety, communication and lone-worker products and related support services described in the scope.

The planned framework should suit manufacturers, specialist distributors, technology suppliers and service providers working in assistive technology, electronic communication, environmental control, accessibility equipment, patient monitoring, alarms or lone-worker safety. Relevant capabilities include supplying and supporting augmentative and alternative communication products, access and interface devices, environmental controllers, mounting solutions, sensors and alerting systems. Businesses with established maintenance, technical support and integration capability may be well placed where products require installation, adaptation or ongoing servicing. The buyer has expressly indicated that the procurement should be suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, so smaller specialist firms and socially focused organisations may wish to prepare for the future tender. Suppliers should monitor the planned procurement timetable and consider whether they can cover one or more parts of the broad scope.
