This project is part of a national initiative and will take place in Sunderland, located in the North East of England.

The procurement is classified under the goods category, specifically relating to computer equipment and supplies. This tender presents significant opportunities for technology firms, particularly those specialising in assistive technologies and connected devices, to expand their business in the social care sector. Companies that offer solutions for medication management, mood monitoring, nutrition and hydration, or environmental adjustments within the home would be particularly well-suited to compete.

The project seeks to use innovative technology to improve adult social care and health outcomes.
