PfH is seeking professional and experienced suppliers to form a framework agreement for Technologies for Independent Living: Telecare, Telehealth Solutions. The Framework Agreement will be for an initial period of three (3) years with an option to extend for a further twelve (12) months.

The scope of the agreement covers multiple product categories which includes a core list of Telecare and Telehealth equipment and solutions including but not limited to; telecare equipment and associated services, telehealth solutions, telecare monitoring services and

solutions, call monitoring and data applications, software and cloud based services and integrated managed services.

Bidders should note that the estimated total Lot values provided within Document 1 - Invitation to Tender and in the Contract Notice, represent the estimated maximum spend ranges for each Lot. However, Tenderers should note that we expect the total value of the Framework Agreement across all lots to be less than that total sum, as it is unknown which contracting route will be selected by PfH Members.
