The contract is situated in the South East region of England, with a total value of £32,000.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for SMEs to engage with public sector contracts, specifically within the realm of health and social support services. Businesses that offer automated communication solutions or technologies that enhance service delivery to vulnerable populations would be well-suited to compete for similar future contracts. Engaging with Hampshire County Council could lead to further partnerships, enabling growth through responsive service delivery amid ongoing public health challenges.

## Notice

The Covid 19 pandemic is placing unforeseen and immediate pressures on the Councils existing resources. The WACS solution is an automated service that can make multiple phone calls to named individuals, confirming their identity and asking questions the answers to which will determine the most appropriate access route for that individual to Council services. The aim of the Wellbeing Automated Call Service (WACS) is to reduce the requirement for the Welfare Support Team (tier 2) in HCC to make thousands of calls to individuals who have registered on the government website as extremely vulnerable and requiring support. In addition, the WACS project aims to contact those people who have been listed on the NHS Shielding List and whom HCC does not have an email or mobile number for, meaning mass communication is not possible.
