## Summary

The procurement process involves a Framework Agreement initiated by the Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation (ESPO) for "203_21 Technology Enabled Care (TEC) Products and Services". This procurement is categorised under health and social work services and is available across the United Kingdom to various public bodies such as local authorities, educational establishments, and NHS providers. The process is currently in the Award stage, having been completed on 2nd June 2021, with a total contract value of £120 million. The procurement followed an open method, facilitating transparency and broad participation.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in technology-enabled care services, including telehealth and telecare. Companies providing equipment or support services related to health and social care, particularly those offering innovative solutions for crisis management, will be well-positioned to compete. Smaller enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as there were a considerable number of bids from SMEs during the tender process, indicating a competitive environment favourable for diverse suppliers.

## Notice

This framework agreement will include a direct call off catalogue and a list of pre-approved specialist providers of technology enabled care services, including telecare and telehealth services and equipment, monitoring, response services, lifestyle monitoring, analytics and consultancy. The framework is intended to meet the needs of a fully outsourced provision as well as the purchase of individual pieces of equipment. Additional information: ESPO has established a commercial trading company, ESPO Trading Ltd, whose target clients are third sector organisations such as national and local charities, public sector mutual organisations and other organisations involved in the delivery of services to or for the public sector. The successful supplier may be asked to enter into an additional separate framework agreement (the Second Framework) with ESPO Trading Ltd on materially similar terms to that found in the tender pack to be entered into by ESPO itself. Any second framework agreement will be a purely commercial agreement and will, for the avoidance of doubt, not be governed by the Public Contract Regulations 2015 or other public procurement legislation. ESPO Trading Ltd may enter into the second framework agreement with the successful supplier and make it available to third sector clients who themselves are not required to follow the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or other public procurement legislation. Accordingly, this is provided for bidders' information only. An eAuction process may be used to award subsequent call off contracts following the reopening of competition among the parties to the framework agreement.
