Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council, focused on the supply of a "Dispersed Digital Careline Unit" for a 24-hour emergency service in sheltered housing. Classified under the industry category of radio, television, communication, telecommunication, and related equipment, the process has been completed successfully. Located in the region designated as UKK24, this procurement utilised a limited method, justified as falling outside the scope of directive application. The contract, active since being signed on 28th January 2026, was awarded to Chiptech International Limited with the total value set at £30,889.5.

This tender provides growth opportunities primarily for businesses in the telecommunications and emergency service equipment sectors. Companies that can offer specialised communication devices and related equipment are well-suited to compete in such tenders, especially given the requirement for a 24-hour emergency service. SMEs like Chiptech International Limited are prime candidates to find success in similar procurement processes, provided they can offer competitive pricing and specialise in innovative technology solutions for public services. This contract highlights the potential for small to medium-sized enterprises to engage with regional authorities and expand their market presence.
