This contract is classified under alarm-monitoring services with a total value of £390,000. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender was published on 23rd September 2016, with a tender period that ended on 26th October 2016. The three-year contract is set to commence on 1st April 2017, with the possibility of extension for up to six years in total. This tender presents excellent opportunities for businesses operating within the assistive technology sector, particularly those that can provide comprehensive services for individuals with diverse needs, including those with disabilities or long-term health conditions. Companies that specialise in telecare monitoring, equipment provision, and maintaining assistive devices will find themselves well-suited to apply for this contract. With the anticipated growth in service demand, businesses engaging in technological innovations that facilitate independence and well-being for vulnerable populations will have significant prospects for expansion. ## Notice To develop an Assistive Technology Service for vulnerable residents across Rutland. The aim is to provide technological responses to vulnerable people, supporting independence and wellbeing in their own homes, reducing the need for admissions to hospital and residential care, and reducing the level of domiciliary support required. This will be a fully managed service covering all aspects of the Assistive Technology provision in Rutland, from initial assessment of the needs of the individual, provision and installation of necessary equipment, a comprehensive telecare monitoring service, maintenance of equipment, through to removal/disposal of equipment. This is not simply a supply and fit contract. Typical clients will be people at risk of falls and those with long term conditions including dementia. It will also cover people with a physical disability, learning disability, mental health issues, autism, children with disabilities and carers. Typical equipment may include: personal alarms, pressure mats, falls detectors, movement sensors, gas/smoke/temperature detectors, medication prompters, pagers, etc. The three year contract may be extended by up to three periods, each of one year, giving a maximum contract period of six years. The volume of activity is forecast to grow over the term of the contract. Additional information: This service is intended to be a complete and self-contained service for the residents of this small authority, and for that reason a single contractor is required and the tender is not divided into lots. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/445de1ab-e936-443f-8c1f-bf9501f8ac48 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Dec 2016 | | Submission deadline | 26 Oct 2016 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 13 Dec 2016 | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2017 - 31 Mar 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £390,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £390,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WELLAND PROCUREMENT UNIT | | Locality | OAKHAM | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE15 6HP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF22 Leicestershire CC and Rutland | | Local authority | Rutland | | Electoral ward | Oakham South | | Westminster constituency | Rutland and Stamford | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | SPIRE HOMES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79711000 - Alarm-monitoring services ## Release History - 13 Dec 2016 at 13:59 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/445de1ab-e936-443f-8c1f-bf9501f8ac48 - 18 Nov 2016 at 20:16 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2d9fbdd1-9c2b-45cf-bb4c-692d245a597e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/445de1ab-e936-443f-8c1f-bf9501f8ac48 13th December 2016 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2d9fbdd1-9c2b-45cf-bb4c-692d245a597e 23rd September 2016 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/22cc23c4-f484-4e0e-a6fb-5a2451bedc04 Document One (Instructions to Bidders) Assistive Technology - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d41a09d1-348d-43e1-a081-eebba75b796e Document Four (Tender Return) Assistive Technology - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2958d12b-c65e-4feb-a4b6-79c7b721e235 Document Three (Contract) Assistive Technology - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/5bd205dd-0956-4e05-8fed-d8aedd55f541 Document Two (Specification) Assistive Technology - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/33e68ede-b78e-497c-955b-ab375965ca08 Document One (Instructions to Bidders) Assistive Technology - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ced52fe9-d39d-4935-8c77-e931e2e67035 Document Four (Tender Return) Assistive Technology - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a05e51fb-70fe-4b96-8a08-f086c16d8abe Document Three (Contract) Assistive Technology - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7a876aa3-a19e-4f8b-9a7e-a85adf421999 Document Two (Specification) Assistive Technology ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
