UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Milton Keynes City Council is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Remote Monitoring Technologies for Social Care". The council seeks innovative solutions in the Technology Enabled Care (TEC) sector to enhance support for its residents. The main procurement category is services, specifically targeting medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and patient-monitoring systems. A significant engagement is scheduled, requesting feedback from providers on potential technologies by 5 September 2025, with a showcase event planned for 12 September 2025 at the Milton Keynes City Council Chambers in the UKJ12 region. This planning phase's goal is to develop a comprehensive tender specification based on market feedback, with contracts set to commence in August 2026 and conclude by August 2028.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in remote monitoring technologies, particularly those offering solutions for temporary and long-term deployment in social care settings. Companies involved in developing innovative medical and patient-monitoring systems will find this procurement process an excellent prospect for showcasing their capabilities. Given the council's interest in engaging with small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), these organisations are well-positioned to compete and contribute solutions that support independent living and informed care planning. Participating in this tender can lead to significant business growth and establish enduring relationships with a forward-thinking public authority.
