Summary of the contracting process

Knowsley Council has initiated a planning stage procurement process for a project titled "Technology Enabled Care - Medication Administration Support." The focus lies within the industry categories of IT services and health and social work services, aiming to explore available technology for supervising medication intake. This public procurement is within the United Kingdom, specifically in the UKD7 region. The expression of interest for this tender is open until 26th September 2025, and interested parties are encouraged to participate as this is an engagement phase meant to gather insights from the market. The contract period is expected to commence on 3rd November 2025 and conclude by 1st May 2026, with potential for long-term arrangements post completion.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services related to health and social care, particularly those offering telecare and technology-enabled care solutions.

Given the potential for further contracts extending beyond May 2026, this process provides a strategic entry point for businesses to establish a relationship with Knowsley Council and contribute to the enhancement of their care services. Small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as larger technology firms with expertise in this field, would be well-suited to submit expressions of interest.
