## Summary

Bassetlaw District Council procured the replacement and upgrade of warden call alarm systems in council-owned homes and dispersed units across the Bassetlaw District. This is a combined supply and installation requirement: the equipment is for residents’ homes, with building installation work included. The scope covers both replacing existing alarms and upgrading systems, rather than supplying equipment alone. The procurement is relevant to providers of warden call or telecare alarm systems able to undertake installation work in council housing and dispersed accommodation. The named buyer is the district council; the contract relates to its own dwellings and units within its district.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Tunstall Healthcare (UK) Ltd. The recorded contract value is £1,260,000. The contract was signed on 3 September 2026; no contract end date or duration is stated. The council used a direct award through Lot 1 of the NHC TEL framework, without a prior call for competition. The stated basis was that a framework call-off allowed direct award under the framework. The recorded award criterion was price. One bid was recorded. The procurement was divided into one lot, but that lot is marked cancelled while the overall award and contract are recorded as active. The data does not explain this difference in status.

This award shows a substantial council requirement for replacing and upgrading warden call alarms across council-owned homes and dispersed units, combining equipment supply with installation. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to provide suitable alarm systems and deliver installation across a dispersed housing portfolio. The recorded selection was made on price, so competitive cost would matter alongside the ability to meet the full replacement-and-upgrade scope. The route used was a direct call-off from the NHC TEL framework, making access to and suitability for that framework relevant to competing through the same route. Tunstall Healthcare (UK) Ltd was the selected supplier, providing a market benchmark for the type of provider able to deliver the council’s requirement.
