Notice Title
Technology Enabled Care Service (TEC)
Notice Description
The Technology Enabled Care (TEC) Service is a preventative, countywide offer that provides digital equipment to promote wellbeing and support adults with care needs. It enables the continuous, automatic, and remote monitoring of real time emergencies and lifestyle changes, helping to manage and reduce risks associated with independent living. The service supports eligible adults across the county to maintain independence, safety, and wellbeing through a wide range of digital solutions. These include traditional telecare devices such as fall detectors and medication dispensers, as well as emerging technologies like smart home systems, voice activated tools, and AI driven monitoring. This technology is designed to empower individuals to remain independent for longer, receive more proactive and preventative support, and stay connected to their community, family, friends, and professionals. This approach aims to enhance outcomes and promote independence while ensuring resources are targeted where they are most needed, enabling a less intrusive and more dignified model of support. Overall, the service seeks to prevent, reduce, or delay the need for more intensive statutory services by improving wellbeing, identifying risks earlier, and providing a lower cost alternative to traditional care pathways.
Planning Information
As part of its ongoing work to improve the quality of life, health and wellbeing of residents, Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) is reviewing the current approach, effectiveness, and future potential of Care Technology (TEC) as a core tool within Adult Care. Lincolnshire County Council is currently exploring new and innovative ways to collaborate with providers in shaping the future of Enhanced Technology Enable Care (TEC) across the county. We are committed to working in partnership to review current services and identify opportunities for working differently, that will better meet the needs of individuals and communities. At this stage, the future model of TEC is not yet defined. Through this engagement, we aim to gather valuable input from the market to help shape the new service scope. We will be seeking responses via a Pre-market Engagement Questionnaire. Once the questionnaire has been published, we kindly request that responses are returned via the ProContract portal: https://procontract.due-north.com/ by 5pm on the 18th September 2025. If you wish to provide a response after this date, further submissions will be accepted via email at elena.garcia-carretero@lincolnshire.gov.uk until 5pm on 25th September.
