## Summary

Connexus Homes Limited, a housing association based in Craven Arms, United Kingdom, recently completed a public procurement process titled “Digital Scheme Based Solutions.” The procurement falls under the telecommunications equipment and supplies category, aiming to replace outdated scheme alarms with a digital solution to ensure uninterrupted services for vulnerable adults as analogue systems are phased out. The main procurement category was goods, and the contract was signed with Careium UK Limited on 5th December 2024 for Lot 3, which focuses on the Housing For Older People (HFOP) schemes. The project was delivered across Shropshire and Herefordshire under an open procurement method. The total contract value was £373,587.80.

This procurement process offers significant business opportunities for companies specializing in telecommunications and safety equipment, software packages, and maintenance services. Suppliers capable of providing innovative digital solutions that meet stringent technical and quality criteria would be well-suited to compete. The procurement provides an avenue for businesses to collaborate with Connexus Homes Limited, a central purchasing body, enhancing their market presence in the housing and community social services sectors. Engaging in such projects could facilitate growth for businesses focused on telecommunications infrastructure, fire-detection systems, and the maintenance of health and social work services.

## Notice

As part of the digital switchover, Connexus Homes Limited are looking for a transformative digital solution to replace its existing scheme alarm provision which is not compatible with the new digital standards within existing schemes to ensure it fully functions once analogue services are switched off. This will mean that vulnerable adults across the schemes will continue to have access to this provision without any interruptions in their service.
