## Summary

City of Lincoln appointed Chiptech International Ltd to provide Technology Enabled Lives services for people in Lincoln, UK. The requirement covers technology-enabled care provision, including the repair and maintenance of medical equipment. The service is for the City of Lincoln, while the Northern Housing Consortium Limited acted as the buying organisation through its Technology Enabled Lives framework. The procurement is categorised as goods, although the operational requirement is a managed technology-enabled care service supported by medical equipment maintenance. Delivery is associated with Lincoln, including the LN1 1DE area. The opportunity is relevant to providers of telecare, assistive technology, connected care and associated equipment support, particularly businesses able to deliver services for a local authority or housing-related public service.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. The contract was awarded to Chiptech International Ltd on 10 March 2026 for GBP 468,000. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2031. The requirement was procured through a selective call-off from the Northern Housing Consortium’s Technology Enabled Lives framework, rather than as an open standalone tender. The tender submission deadline was 10 March 2026. The published outcome confirms Chiptech as the appointed provider for the City of Lincoln. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award concerns one overall requirement; no separate lot awards are recorded.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting future Technology Enabled Lives requirements from the City of Lincoln or comparable housing and public-service buyers. A credible competitor would need capability in telecare or connected-care technology, reliable provision and support of assistive equipment, and the ability to maintain medical equipment as part of an ongoing service. The five-year commitment indicates that the buyer values continuity, operational resilience and sustained support rather than a one-off equipment supply. Suppliers should also understand how to compete through the Northern Housing Consortium’s Technology Enabled Lives framework, as this call-off route was used for the appointment. The stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that smaller specialist providers may be well placed where they can demonstrate the required service capacity.
