Summary of the contracting process

NSAH (ALLIANCE HOMES) LIMITED bought telecare alarms and associated triggers for its sheltered housing estate through the PSTN project. The requirement covers alarms and equipment such as pendants, pull cords and links to smoke-detector systems. These products are intended to monitor residents’ safety, health and wellbeing, and fall within telecommunications equipment and supplies. The work is categorised as goods and is delivered to the buyer’s sheltered housing estate. The buyer is a public-law housing organisation based in Portishead. The requirement sits within technology-enabled care products and associated services, specifically telecare products and related equipment for supporting people in sheltered housing. It is a focused equipment supply requirement rather than a general housing, construction or care-service contract.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct award without prior publication of a competition, using the ESPO Technology Enabled Care Products and Services Framework, Lot 1.1 for telecare products and associated services. The single lot was recorded as cancelled, but the award is active and the contract is active. Tunstall Healthcare (UK) Ltd was awarded the contract. The contract value is £390,000. The contract was signed on 3 August 2026. One bid was recorded. Price was the stated award criterion, alongside the buyer’s business requirements in selecting the supplier. The procurement method was a limited procedure, with the direct award justified as being made under the framework and based on price and business requirements.

This requirement is most relevant to established telecare equipment suppliers able to provide alarms and a broad range of associated triggers, including pendants, pull cords and smoke-detector links. Credible competitors would need products designed to monitor safety, health and wellbeing in sheltered housing, together with the operational capability to supply equipment and associated telecare services at housing-estate scale. Experience of technology-enabled care products, compatibility with a public-sector framework route and the ability to meet defined business requirements would strengthen a supplier’s position. Price was central to the selection, so competitive pricing and efficient fulfilment would matter alongside product suitability. Suppliers tracking this buyer should focus on specialist telecare provision rather than wider telecommunications or general care services.
