UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council procured a dispersed digital careline unit providing a 24-hour emergency service for sheltered housing. The requirement falls within the goods category and covers alarm systems for delivery in the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council area. The service supports residents of sheltered housing by providing emergency response through a dispersed digital careline arrangement. The procurement was a single-lot requirement and the selected supplier was CHIPTECH INTERNATIONAL LIMITED, a Lancaster-based small and medium-sized enterprise. This is relevant to businesses supplying digital careline equipment, alarm systems or associated emergency-response technology for sheltered housing and similar supported accommodation environments. Suppliers considering future requirements from this buyer should understand both the equipment element and the need to support continuous emergency service provision for users of sheltered housing.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold procedure described as “unknown”. One lot was completed, with CHIPTECH INTERNATIONAL LIMITED selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 21 January 2026 and runs from 22 January 2026 to 21 January 2028. Its value is £30,889.50 excluding VAT, or £37,067.40 including VAT. The contract is active. The award covers alarm systems associated with the dispersed digital careline unit. The contracting authority is Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council. The published data records the requirement as a 24-hour emergency service for sheltered housing, but does not provide a separate award date or set out scored evaluation criteria. The outcome therefore shows the route used, the appointed supplier, the contract scale and the delivery period.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council for digital careline and alarm-system capability supporting sheltered housing. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply or integrate alarm systems suitable for dispersed accommodation, while supporting a 24-hour emergency service rather than only delivering standalone hardware. The awarded supplier was a small and medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the requirement was delivered by a specialist smaller business rather than necessarily a large national contractor. Relevant businesses include care technology providers, alarm-system suppliers and firms able to combine equipment with dependable emergency-service support. Experience of sheltered housing environments, reliable installation and maintenance, and the operational capacity to support residents continuously would strengthen a supplier’s position when this council next considers comparable provision.
