## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by The Council of the Borough of Kirklees, pertains to the "Digital Arc Transformation Consultancy" project. It involves the adult social care sector within the region, specifically Huddersfield, United Kingdom. This process has reached the award stage as of 8th May 2026, and a contract has been signed, running from 15th May 2026 to 28th July 2026. This initiative aims to enhance the digital care services provided by implementing a new Digital Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC). The tender follows a direct procurement method, classified below threshold, without competition, targeting the services category, specifically systems and technical consultancy services. The awarded contract, valued at £30,000 gross, was given to RETHINK PARTNERS LTD, a company located in Saffron Walden.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in systems and technical consultancy within the adult social care and digital transformation industries. Companies that focus on assistive technology, workforce upskilling, and digital platform implementation would find this contract particularly beneficial. The project requires the provision of expertise in procurement options, operational model advice, and the development of cost-effective solutions that can support independent living for residents. SMEs like RETHINK PARTNERS LTD, with experience in public sector collaboration, are well-suited to compete for similar future projects aiming to transform social care services through digital innovations.

## Notice

Adult Social Care is committed to transforming the digital care offer within Kirklees. This transformation is underpinned by the implementation of a new Digital Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC), which will enable the Council to deploy more sophisticated technology within people's homes. This will support residents to remain independent for longer through the provision of least restrictive and cost effective solutions. To maximise the benefits of the new Digital ARC, the Assistive Technology team requires specialist support to upskill the workforce, understand the capabilities of the new platform, and identify the most appropriate equipment to procure . In addition, expert advice is needed on procurement options, operating models, and appropriate charging mechanisms for customers.
