Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process led by Viewpoint Housing Association, based in Edinburgh, has reached the completion stage with the award of the "OOH/Telecare Monitoring Service 2026/2027" contract. Operating within the "Housing and community amenities" industry category, this procurement focuses on providing out-of-hours and telecare monitoring services across the UKM75 region. The process was characterised by its limited procurement method, justified by the urgency of maintaining support for vulnerable services. The contract, valued at £165,000, was formally signed on 7th July 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in service provision, particularly those focused on telecare and emergency response solutions. Large-scale organisations like Hanover (Scotland) Housing Association Ltd, which was awarded the contract, are well-suited to compete, given the specific nature and critical urgency of the service required. Such contracts can drive business growth by enhancing service portfolios and establishing partnerships with key housing associations, thereby expanding market reach within the UK region.
