## Summary

Bath & North East Somerset Council commissioned a Technology Enabled Care Pilot Service. The service is intended to support a test-and-learn pilot using technology-enabled care within health and social care. It is classified as a health and social work service and is being delivered for the council. The requirement is treated as a Light Touch Service under the Procurement Act 2023. The selected provider, SIRONA CARE AND HEALTH CIC, is based in Bristol and is recorded as an SME. The procurement concerns one service lot and involves a local organisation known to the commissioner. It is therefore relevant to providers of technology-enabled care, health and social care services, and organisations able to support pilot delivery and learning in a local authority setting.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to SIRONA CARE AND HEALTH CIC. Bath & North East Somerset Council used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition, citing a reasonable rationale for using a known local organisation for the pilot. The contract was signed on 23 July 2026 and runs from 23 July 2026 to 19 January 2028. It has a gross value of £190,000, equivalent to £152,000 excluding VAT. The council may renew it once for 12 months by mutual agreement, with a maximum end date of 19 January 2029. The award is active and the contract is active. No competitive evaluation criteria or tender submissions are recorded because the contract was awarded without competition.

This award provides evidence of a council requirement for technology-enabled care delivered through a structured test-and-learn pilot, rather than a standard, established service alone. Businesses considering similar work for Bath & North East Somerset Council would need credible health and social care capability, practical experience of using technology to support care, and the ability to design, operate and learn from a pilot. The procurement also indicates that local presence or established local relationships can be commercially relevant where the council seeks a known local organisation. An SME provider secured the work, suggesting that specialist smaller organisations can be credible in this type of requirement, provided they can demonstrate suitable delivery capacity and understanding of local care needs.

## Notice

The engagement is to facilitate a test and learn pilot and the commissioner has set out reasonable rationale for using a known, local organisation for this pilot. The services are classed as Light Touch Services under the Procurement Act 2023
