The council is seeking feedback from service providers on various aspects such as the scope of services, commercial arrangements, and performance management. Interested parties can participate in the market engagement by completing a questionnaire, with responses expected by February 17, 2023. The purpose is to inform the re-procurement process and gather market insights to shape the future services. The procurement falls under the health and social work services category. This tender for Lincolnshire TEC Services presents an opportunity for businesses in the health and social care sector to compete for a contract with Lincolnshire County Council. Companies specialising in care technology, digital solutions for health and wellbeing, and services supporting independence and control for individuals would be well-suited to bid for this tender. By engaging in this procurement process, businesses can contribute to the transformation of care technology services and potential collaborations with health partners for improved outcomes and support in the community. ## Notice Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) is in the process of assessing the best way in which to procure a contract to deliver Lincolnshire Technically Enabled Care Services (LTECS). To that end we are seeking to understand the market's preferred approach to a number of important issues to inform the decision-making process. ### Lot Information Lot 1 As part of its ongoing work to improve the quality of life, health and wellbeing of residents, Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) is reviewing the current approach, effectiveness, and future potential of Care Technology (TEC) as a core tool within Adult Care. This work is part of a broader package set out in LCC's current Digital Strategy for Adult Care, The Digital Strategy aims to deliver increased independence, choice and control for individuals requiring ongoing long- term service by increasing opportunities to use digital solutions. To facilitate this, the council is delivering a strength- based programme for practitioners to ensure they are confident in the use of digital solutions for people's care and wellbeing. The Strategy outlines TEC as an area of potential opportunity for the council and recommends the review and redesign of the TEC offer and approach (among other strands of work). The Council now wishes to explore a transformed TEC approach. This option offering a greater level of change and development of LCC's approach: greater expansion of the scope and number of Care Technology recipients. This would be enabled by greater work on staff engagement around eligibility and training on the Lincolnshire process as well as effective use of TEC to support needs. This expanded cohort would include children in transition, young people with learning disability and supported living. This option would also support LCC's practitioners with access to available expertise to advise on potential use of technology as part of strengths-based programme. The approach would start expanding use in core pathways but with greater ambition to develop additional pathways and referral channels. The option could also take a more preventative approach supporting people prior to being Care Act eligible. There would be a private pay service but with advice and guidance available for people who are signposted from the Council. Collection, refurbishment and reuse of equipment would continue to be a focus area to ensure value for money for the Council. Over time, this offer could be expanded to work with health partners such as Acute Trusts to develop a joint service with active referral routes and support for health practitioners to support work to increase the speed of hospital discharge and reduce avoidable hospital admission (for example). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/001933-2023 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Jan 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 14 Sep 2023 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LINCOLNSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | LINCOLN | | Post town | Lincoln | | Postcode | LN1 1YL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF3 Lincolnshire | | ITL 3 | TLF30 Lincolnshire CC | | Local authority | Lincoln | | Electoral ward | Carholme | | Westminster constituency | Lincoln | | Delivery location | TLF3 Lincolnshire | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 21 Jan 2023 at 15:11 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/001933-2023 ## Notice URLs - https://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
