| Title: | Telecare and Telehealth Solutions Framework - 201/13 |
| Notice type: | Contract Notice |
| Authority: | ESPO |
| Nature of contract: | Supplies |
| Procedure: | Open |
| Short Description: | The Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation (ESPO) is one of the UK's largest public sector procurement organisations. Our purpose is to provide our member local authorities and other clients with a comprehensive, cost effective procurement service covering a diverse range of products and services, as well as offering a professional procurement consultancy, assisting clients with complex procurement projects. ESPO, on behalf of the Pro5 social care category team, intends to establish a new framework agreement for the provision of Telecare and Telehealth solutions. The framework will be divided into 3 lots – Lot 1 - An online catalogue of telecare and telehealth products. We intend to award this element of the framework agreement to a single supplier, whose role will be to produce , host and maintain a ‘one-stop shop’ catalogue of relevant telecare and telehealth products (and possibly some related services too). The supplier will support the online catalogue by managing a supply chain of manufacturers and product resellers with the aim of ensuring that the products required by commissioners are available (including new products introduced during the life of the Catalogue. The supplier will facilitate the entire transaction process, making the framework streamlined and efficient for commissioners to use – they will simply place an order. The catalogue may also be available directly to individual service users wishing to spend their allocated personal budgets. The key feature of the online catalogue is that it will be ‘dynamic’ – which means that the products included in the catalogue can be updated, increased or revised at any time in response to innovations in the market place and evolving client needs. Lot 2 - Managed service provision. For those service commissioners who wish effectively to outsource some or all of their telecare / telehealth provision, lot 2 will comprise a list of proven, specialist suppliers who are able to undertake this for them. This may include some or all of: service user assessment, equipment supply, service monitoring, and response. This lot will primarily be accessed by means of a secondary competition, in which the service commissioner will invite tenders from only those suppliers listed in the framework. Depending on the quality of the responses, we intend to restrict the number of suppliers included in lot 2 to approximately 6. Lot 3 - Specialist consultancy service. This lot will comprise a list of suitably experienced consultants who are able to provide specialist advice to commissioners on the topics of telecare and telehealth, and assist in the specification, implementation and management of such schemes. Consultancy services will be accessed either by secondary competition, or by direct call-off at tendered hourly or daily rates. As this is an entirely new framework, Pro5 cannot accurately predict the likely value, volume or timings of requirements under the framework, however Pro5 will work closely with the appointed suppliers to actively market the framework across the Country. A number of Local Authorities have already confirmed interest in accessing the framework, and these include North Yorkshire County Council, North Lincolnshire Council and North Hertfordshire District Council. Whilst initially for use by local authorities served by the Pro5 Group (a collaboration between CBC, NEPO, ESPO, YPO and the wider public sector), being Central Purchasing Bodies as defined by the EU Combined Procurement Directive 2004/18/EC, the Framework Agreement may also be open for use by the following classifications of user throughout all administrative regions of the UK: Local Authority Councils; Educational Establishments (including Academies); Police, Fire & Rescue and Coastguard Emergency Services; NHS and HSC Bodies, including Ambulance Services; Registered Charities; Registered Social Landlords. Full details of the classification of end user establishments and geographical areas is available on: http://www.espo.org/about-us/ojeu-permissible-users.aspx |
