## Summary

The Nottingham Community Housing Association 2014 Limited is currently in the planning stage of a tender titled "Soft Market Testing for Assistive Technology." This initiative aims to transition their analogue infrastructure to a digital format while enhancing services for users through the integration of Assistive Technology. The location for this project is in the East Midlands, United Kingdom, with a key engagement end date set for 6th September 2021.
