Description

South Lanarkshire Council is seeking to engage with the market regarding the installation, repair and removal of assistive technology and linked community alarms/pagers in service users’ homes. South Lanarkshire community alarm service supports around 9000 social work service users to live safely and well within their own homes with approximately 7300 of these service users having dispersed community alarms within their homes. Assistive technology is a range of sensors and devices provided to the most vulnerable of our community alarm service users as part of the arrangements to monitor their welfare, and enhance their support, care, and independence. Assistive technology is usually linked to either dispersed community alarms or to a stand-alone pager in service users’ homes. These devices automatically alert carers or the community alarm receiving centre of an event or incident. All installers will need to be PVG approved.
