203_21 Technology Enabled Care (TEC) Products and Services

Description

This framework agreement will include a direct call off catalogue and a list of pre-approved specialist providers of technology enabled care services, including telecare and telehealth services and equipment, monitoring, response services, lifestyle monitoring, analytics and consultancy. The framework is intended to meet the needs of a fully outsourced provision as well as the purchase of individual pieces of equipment. Additional information: ESPO has established a commercial trading company, ESPO Trading Ltd, whose target clients are third sector organisations such as national and local charities, public sector mutual organisations and other organisations involved in the delivery of services to or for the public sector. The successful supplier may be asked to enter into an additional separate framework agreement (the Second Framework) with ESPO Trading Ltd on materially similar terms to that found in the tender pack to be entered into by ESPO itself. Any second framework agreement will be a purely commercial agreement and will, for the avoidance of doubt, not be governed by the Public Contract Regulations 2015 or other public procurement legislation. ESPO Trading Ltd may enter into the second framework agreement with the successful supplier and make it available to third sector clients who themselves are not required to follow the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or other public procurement legislation. Accordingly, this is provided for bidders' information only. An eAuction process may be used to award subsequent call off contracts following the reopening of competition among the parties to the framework agreement.

Lot 2: Technology Enabled Care Services (Outsourced Services Including Products as Part of the Service) Technology enabled care services (outsourced services including products as part of the service) accessed by further competition. This lot can be used to procure a completely outsourced service or individual elements as required.
