Technology Enabled Lives
Are you worried about the 2027 digital switchover deadline? We can support you in ensuring your residents have real-time support and improved aid, an increasing priority for housing associations, NHS services, local authorities, and registered providers.
Our expert team will support you every step of the way. Where a further competition is required to find you the most suitable supplier, we will provide you with the full suite of template documents and administer the competition exercise on your behalf.
Given the increasing urgency of modernising existing care equipment, and the need to meet government standards, it is critical to get the right solution for compliance, cost-effectiveness, and peace of mind.
The framework is informed by the TSA.
The framework has been informed by the TSA, the industry and advisory body for technology enabled care in the UK. The TSA lobbies for the increased uptake of digital solutions in the health and social care industries, and by working together we have accessed the best industry insight.
We support communities to live independently at home.
We have care in the community at heart, and the impact of technology enabled lives has been a key measure of the framework. Every person deserves to live a long and comfortable life at home, and the framework will contribute to this, by ensuring trusted and compliant procurement practices.
We represent our member’s interests.
We know times are changing, and with the 2025 digital switchover just round the corner, we are taking every step to be ahead of the curve. The framework is reflective of the evolving nature of technology, and we support you to achieve scale, compliance, and cost-efficiency.
We engage national suppliers with scale and expertise.
We are committed to creating social impact, and this framework enables technology to benefit the lives of our members and their communities. Delivering a reliable, compliant and industry standard route to market is our priority, and our evaluation process rubber-stamps our trusted suppliers.
The cost-savings are passed directly to you.
Consortium Procurement has been a trusted procurement route for social housing, local authority, and registered providers for 30 years. Our essential Technology Enabled Lives framework has saved our members cost, compared to direct to supplier purchases.
