Summary of the contracting process

Progress Housing Group Limited is buying Technology Enabled Care and Support equipment and associated services for Progress Lifeline and other Group entities. The requirement covers personal alarms, falls detectors, environmental sensors for smoke, flooding and carbon monoxide, GPS tracking devices, telecare hubs, medication reminders, activity monitoring systems, connectivity solutions and related accessories. Suppliers may need to provide delivery, installation, maintenance, training, repairs, technical support and equipment replacement, supporting adult social care, health and wellbeing services and independent living. Purchases may be individual items, bulk equipment or complete telecare solutions. Delivery is across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, the Midlands, East of England, London and the South East and South West.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure for a single-lot framework. The tender submission deadline was 14 September 2026 at 12:00, and enquiries closed on 4 September 2026 at 23:59. The contract is scheduled to run from 19 October 2026 to 18 October 2030, with one optional four-year extension, giving a maximum end date of 18 October 2034. Its estimated value is £4,000,000 excluding VAT, or £4,800,000 including VAT. The framework may use further mini-competitions between appointed suppliers for specialist or project-specific requirements. Evaluation is based on pricing at 60%, technical and quality at 30%, and social value at 10%.

This opportunity suits suppliers of telecare, alarm, sensor, connectivity and assistive-technology equipment that can support both product supply and associated field and technical services. Strong candidates will be able to demonstrate compliant, high-quality equipment, reliable delivery and implementation, installation capability, maintenance, repairs, training, technical support and equipment replacement. The requirement also favours businesses able to provide SIM connectivity, whole-life cost information, service and support arrangements, innovation and project-specific pricing when competing for call-offs. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable. Suppliers will need to meet the economic and technical selection requirements in the tender documentation and have the capacity to serve customers across England.

Planning Information

The Authority undertook a targeted pre-procurement market engagement exercise to inform the development of a Framework Agreement for the provision of Technology Enabled Care and Support (TECS) equipment and associated services. A number of suppliers operating within the TECS market were contacted directly and invited to participate in discussions regarding current market capabilities, product availability, technological developments, service requirements and framework design. Engagement was undertaken to help establish requirements and ensure that the proposed procurement is proportionate, competitive and aligned with current industry standards. Discussions were held remotely with suppliers who were given the opportunity to share information and submit feedback on the proposed scope of the framework. The engagement was conducted solely for market research purposes and did not provide any supplier with an advantage in any subsequent procurement process.
