This initiative aims to enhance productivity and sustainability within social care providers across the East Riding of Yorkshire. The planning stage is marked by a key deadline for engagement, set for 9th July 2021. The tender falls under the category of IT services, with an overall budget of approximately £1.5 million, part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund. Interested parties are encouraged to submit relevant technology proposals that align with the objectives of the Social Care Innovation Programme (SCIP). This procurement opportunity presents substantial potential for businesses specialising in technology solutions that improve social care quality and efficiency. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are particularly well-positioned to compete, given the focus on engaging existing and new technological innovations. The forthcoming programme will also provide opportunities for businesses to showcase their products at a mid-summer event, paving the way for increased visibility and potential sales in the social care market. ## Notice East Riding of Yorkshire Council (the Council) in conjunction with the University of Hull has developed a Social Care Innovation Programme (SCIP) with the aim of improving productivity, quality and overall sustainability in social care providers who support residents of the East Riding of Yorkshire. The Programme which is part funded by European Regional Development Fund and the Northern Powerhouse; has an overall budget of circa PS1.5m which will be used to run the Programme, research relevant technology; identify 'existing' and 'new to market' technology and grant fund Small and Medium Sized Care Providers to procure/purchase products identified through the Programme. The Programme will progress under 2 main workstreams with these researching gaps in social care and identifying technological solutions that will address the identified gaps. Workstream 1 will research and identify solutions available in existing technology, and support in the implementation and evaluation of such technology in SME care provider sites. Workstream 2 will research and support in the development and test bedding of 'new to the social care market' technology. If you are a supplier of 'existing technology' which you consider supports the provision of higher quality and more effective social care; we would be pleased to receive information about your system/technology product and how this could improve productivity, quality and overall sustainability in social care provision. Please contact scip@hull.ac.uk to submit your brochure / information / contact details with a brief summary of the functionality and approximate cost preferably by Friday 9 July 2021 Researchers on the Programme will consider the benefits of the technology in relation to meeting the aims of the Programme and where relevant, will invite you to showcase your technology to an audience of social care organisations. Small and Medium Sized Care Provider Organisations will be invited to apply for grant funding with which they can purchase technology as identified through this Programme. We aim to have a showcase event in mid-summer with the grant offer to SME Care Providers opening in August 2021. The showcase event could support you to better market your product and to highlight the benefits of using such technology in care sites leading to a likely increase in sales. If you are currently developing technology which you consider will cost effectively address needs in social care provision, and could benefit from working with social care providers in the final development of your product, and further benefit from a test bed environment for your 'new to market' technology; then this is advance notice of a forthcoming Innovation Partnership Tender to invite expressions of interest from developers of 'new to social care market' technology. If you are interested and would want more information on this forthcoming Tender, please contact scip@hull.ac.uk with a brief summary of your product. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bb1986f1-71ac-4b0e-98fa-21cffac3e389 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Jun 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 9 Jul 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £60,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE | | Locality | BEVERLEY | | Post town | Hull | | Postcode | HU17 9BA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE1 East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire | | ITL 3 | TLE12 East Riding of Yorkshire | | Local authority | East Riding of Yorkshire | | Electoral ward | St Mary's | | Westminster constituency | Beverley and Holderness | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 3 Jun 2021 at 09:25 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bb1986f1-71ac-4b0e-98fa-21cffac3e389 - 3 Jun 2021 at 09:12 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/430d472a-81e3-45a2-8969-e0bb1425f3f9 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bb1986f1-71ac-4b0e-98fa-21cffac3e389 3rd June 2021 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/430d472a-81e3-45a2-8969-e0bb1425f3f9 3rd June 2021 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.eastriding.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
