The Provision of Technology Enabled Care Services

Tender description

NHS Shared Business Services (NHS SBS) is consulting on its proposed tender to support Health and Social Care Organisations across the UK and help deliver comprehensive and effective Technology Enabled Care Services. The proposed Framework will enable patients and citizens to engage in, control, manage and own their health & care plans assisted by technology. This includes 'at home' management of long-term health conditions, which will introduce health and social care system efficiencies. We are looking to engage with providers of Telehealth, Telecare, remote monitoring and consultation solutions for Primary, Secondary and Community Healthcare in addition to integrated care solutions applicable to Social Care and wider public sector care settings. The Lot structure of the current framework this agreement is intending to replace is as follows: • Lot 1 - Electronic Assistive Technologies (for use in Health and Social Care) • Lot 2 - Alarm Technologies & Services • Lot 3 - Continuous Monitoring Services • Lot 4 - Scheduled Remote and On-Demand Services We also have a current framework for 'Products to aid the prevention of patient falls in all Health and Social Care Settings'. The Lot structure of the current Patient Falls framework is as follows: • Lot 1 - Products (to aid fall prevention) • Lot 2 - Technology (to aid fall prevention) We are proposing to include the existing technology elements of the Patient Falls structure (i.e. Lot 2) within scope of the replacement TECS agreement. We would welcome any thoughts on the current Lot structure and any innovative Technology Enabled Care or Patient Falls Services in areas that are not covered above.
