ESCC - ME Technology Enabled Care Services

The Council is awarding the contract for a Strategic Partner to work with the Council, its commissioning partners and other providers of relevant or related services in sharing responsibility for the development and design of a Technology Enabled Care (TEC) Service and outcomes which may change due to demographic, economic or technological pressures. Technology Enabled Care (TEC), also known as telecare, refers to a range of services that use alarms and sensors that are monitored 24/7 by a dedicated alarm receiving centre. The service enables users to access support when they need it and provides reassurance not just to clients but also to their carers, family and friends.  The Council wishes to collaborate with the Strategic Partner to achieve long-term benefits and innovation based on mutually desired outcomes, where resources are shared in a way that promotes positive outcomes for all and maximises external funding.
