Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council has completed the procurement process for the temporary telecare maintenance contract regarding the Sheltered Housing in Kettering. This process was necessitated by the upgrade of analogue alarms to digital systems and unexpected delays. The procurement method was direct, below the threshold, and without competition, with Tunstall Healthcare (UK) Limited successfully awarded the contract. The process stage is complete, with the contract signed and active from 28th July 2026 to 27th November 2026. The main industry category is services, specifically miscellaneous repair and maintenance, with a contract value of approximately £34,513.52. Key locations involved are Corby, Northamptonshire, and deliveries are to occur in the East Midlands region (UKF2).

This tender provides business growth opportunities, particularly for companies experienced in telecare services and capable of managing repair and maintenance tasks. While this specific contract has been awarded directly, it signals potential future projects involving telecare or digital upgrades within public housing sectors, offering further opportunities for businesses in technological and healthcare services. Its suitability for SMEs suggests that smaller companies in these sectors should also explore similar avenues for potential collaboration with local councils and government bodies. The shift towards digital systems necessitates expertise in both transitional services and new installations, favouring growth-oriented companies adapted to these niches.
