Tender description

The Council is seeking information on modern, secure and resilient Digital ARC solutions that combine the technology platform with 24/7 alarm receipt, monitoring, call handling, response coordination and escalation. The scope is focused on supporting current and emerging Telecare services and does not include direct physical responder attendance provision. Any future solution must reliably manage alarms, alerts, customer information and reporting, integrate with relevant technologies and systems, and support safe, sustainable and continuous service delivery. Through this RFI, the Council wishes to understand available platforms and managed monitoring services, future developments, delivery models, market capacity and indicative costs as an early market engagement exercise only. It is not an invitation to tender and creates no obligation on the Council to procure.
