## Summary

Northumberland County Council bought telecare equipment to support adults’ independence, safety and wellbeing in their own homes. The requirement covers alarm units, sensors, detectors and associated telecare devices used to deliver telecare services. This is a goods supply contract in the surveillance and security equipment category (CPV 35120000), delivered across Northumberland in the North East of England. The buyer is Northumberland County Council. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that the supply requirement was accessible to businesses with the relevant products, logistics and service capability. The equipment supports home-based care rather than construction, installation works or general social care provision.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award procedure. The award was made to Chiptech International Ltd on 15 July 2026 for £316,000. The contract period runs from 16 July 2026 to 15 July 2028. The original tender value was £316,000, matching the awarded value. The requirement was evaluated and concluded through the direct-award route rather than an open competition. Northumberland County Council is the buyer, and Chiptech International Ltd is the selected supplier. The procurement concerns one overall equipment requirement rather than separately reported lots. The award is active, and the published outcome confirms that the contract covers the supply of telecare equipment and associated devices for the council’s telecare services.

This procurement shows established demand from Northumberland County Council for packaged telecare technology supporting people in their homes. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would provide alarm units, sensors, detectors and related devices, with products suitable for dependable home-based monitoring and response services. Credible competitors would need a coherent equipment range, reliable supply and distribution, and the operational capacity to support a council-level telecare service. As the selected supplier is an SME, the requirement demonstrates that specialist smaller businesses can meet this type of public-sector need. Businesses should understand the council’s adult-care context, how telecare equipment contributes to independence and safety, and the standards of reliability and service continuity expected when supplying devices used by vulnerable residents.

## Notice

The contract is for the supply of telecare equipment to support adults in maintaining independence, safety and wellbeing within their own homes. The equipment will include, but is not limited to, alarm units, sensors, detectors, and associated telecare devices required to support the delivery of telecare services.
