Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council, located at Fife House, North Street, Glenrothes, has completed an extension to its contract titled "CFM0333: Technology Enabled Care Extension." This procurement process falls under the category of general public services within the goods industry and is primarily concerned with the extension of technology-enabled care services, specifically Just Checking and Just Roaming Services, for Fife Council's Health and Social Care Partnership. The contract was signed on 20th April 2026, with the procurement method being limited due to the technical circumstances of Just Checking Ltd being the sole supplier capable of delivering this specific solution. The process had already reached the award stage by 6th May 2026, indicating the conclusion of the contract agreement.

This extension contract, valued at £179,245.24, offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in technology-enabled care, particularly those supplying monitoring services or related technology. Companies specialising in digital telecare solutions, equipment supply, and monitoring services might find business growth possibilities here. However, given the specific circumstances that led to the contract award without open competition, businesses aspiring to compete in such markets should potentially look for similar niche markets where their unique offerings might also be in a strong position, thus circumventing broad competition and strictly adhering to specialised service or equipment provision requirements.
