The deadline for providers to confirm their attendance is by 5pm on Monday, 30th September 2024. This is a crucial opportunity for interested parties to engage with the council, share insights, and discuss potential collaborations. This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in care technology, especially SMEs and voluntary community sector enterprises. The selected provider will be expected to offer comprehensive care technology solutions, support their integration, and continuously monitor their effectiveness. Companies with innovative care technologies and experience in large-scale implementation stand to benefit the most.

We need guidance from providers on how to leverage care technology to support our community effectively. The goal is to empower our residents to live independently, safe and well, and achieve their full potential. The successful provider will collaborate proactively with key partners and stakeholders to deliver a service that leads to positive outcomes for everyone involved. The service will have three main components: 1. Provide insight into available care technologies and their benefits, helping us select the best options for our residents. 2. Assist in the integration and deployment of chosen care technologies, ensuring they are effectively utilised. 3. Monitor the effectiveness of the technologies in use and make recommendations for improvements as needed. Ideally, Oldham Council seeks to partner with a single lead provider who can deliver high-quality service and engage effectively with all involved parties. The provider is expected to meet all Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and outcomes specified in the contract. Market Engagement Event As part of the commissioning process, we are holding a market engagement event on Thursday 3rd October 2024 and would like to invite interested providers to attend.
