Description

Direct Award contract is required with Tunstall Healthcare (UK) to cover
ad hoc purchasing of alarm units, peripheral devices, and other related
equipment for use in the homes of Care Connect customers. This is the
equipment installed in customer homes to allow them to contact the DCC
control room for help and assistance when required.

A more substantial direct award contract is anticipated in 2023, in relation to
the switch off of the analogue (PSTN) telephone network and the migration
to digital, which will require new digitally compliant alarm equipment. Until
this time, Care Connect wish to continue ordering alarm units and other
peripheral equipment as and when needed for use with new customers, and
for replacing items which have come to the end of their life cycle.
