two.2.4) Description of the procurement
This Prior Information Notice (PIN) is issued to engage the market regarding an upcoming procurement opportunity for a state-of-the-art Ambient Assisted Living Data Hub. Following requirements identified in our Smart Housing & Smart Communities living lab, we are seeking a centralised data hub (platform) that gathers and analyses sensor data to generate personalised health and wellbeing insights, enhancing ambient assisted living environments and providing analytics capabilities (with the ability to support AI-driven recommendations). The ambition for this particular workstream is to demonstrate that a broader Technology Enabled Care (TEC) service, in place of a traditional telecare service, would contribute to better outcomes and efficiencies for citizens, their personal networks, and the services who support them, such as reduced hospital admissions.
We are seeking to understand the market capabilities and costs associated with such a data hub. It must be able to collect, analyse, and interpret data from a wide range of ambient sensors across telecare and telehealth (e.g. activity and environmental monitoring, wearables, trackers and domestic smart devices) to provide customised health and wellbeing analytics for individuals and community/statutory services. We expect the data hub to be interoperable for example with sensors and a personal data store (see www.mydex.org), capable of real time data analysis, adhere to robust data security measures and be scalable to accommodate a growing number of users and sensors.
The following video provides an overview of the Digital Health & Care Innovation Centre, the Rural Centre of Excellence for Digital Health & Care Innovation where this Living Lab is anchored, and a background to the innovation requirement : https://vimeo.com/986414233/0356ae24cc?share=copy.
Please note, following this Prior Information Notice, the competition will be run on the Dynamic Purchasing System for the Provision of Digital Services for Co-Managed Care(https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=APR477216).
Only suppliers admitted to category 7 - “Smart Hosing/Communities” on the above Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) will be able to respond to the procurement opportunity. Suppliers interested in this opportunity are therefore invited to apply to join the DPS without delay.
Suppliers are not required to respond to this Prior Information Notice in order to avail themselves of the procurement opportunity or to apply to join the DPS. However, we would appreciate information from interested suppliers regarding their capability to deliver solutions to the above requirement and an indication of pricing to inform our procurement strategy.
Please note a contract notice will not be issued for this procurement, as the ITT will be conducted on the DPS and the date indicated on this PIN is indicative only.
