Total Quantity or Scope

Lancashire County Council intends to transform its traditional, reactive, telecare response service into a technology enabled care service, fit for the digital future. It is an ambitious commission that will introduce new and innovative technologies and digital approaches which enhance the experience and the outcomes for local people. This commission will significantly widen the scope of the current telecare service to become all age, preventive, proactive and fully integrated with the falls lifting service and the Lancashire and South Cumbria shared care record. The Provider will deliver each of the following core service elements: 1. Assessment; 2. Procurement, purchase and lease of TEC equipment; 3. Installation, maintenance, repair, equipment collection and recycle; 4. Continuous innovation and service development; 5. Training and awareness raising for social care and health practitioners; 6. TEC monitoring; 7. A mobile responder service; 8. A falls lifting service; and 9. Data collection and analysis. The Provider will work in partnership with the Commissioners to ensure the new service is embedded in practice. They will deliver training, raise awareness and employ Digital Ambassadors to enable the uptake of new technologies. Please refer to specification for full requirements of the service. The indicative total value of Services includes £658,000 per annum which is funded in total by the Integrated Care Board (ICB) to fund the Falls Lifting service element of this TEC Service Contract across Lancashire, Blackburn with Darwen and South Cumbria. The Authority has received formal confirmation of funding for this element of the service for the first 18 months of the contract to 31st March 2025 (£987,000), however it is the intention of the ICB to receive formal confirmation of further funding for the remaining years of the contract (to November 2028, plus option for a further 2 years to November 2030). The Authority is not in a position to confirm the funding for the remaining years beyond March 2025. Following receipt of confirmation of further funding, no changes will be made to the Specification, only a continuation of Services.
