two.1.4) Short description
The East Riding of Yorkshire Council and the University of Hull have received part funding from the European Regional Development Fund and Northern Powerhouse to support a £1.5 million project to drive innovation in the social care sector.
The Social Care Innovation Programme employs a research-led approach, identifying the key challenges for social care providers, and the smart technologies that can be implemented to support them in reducing the challenges they face.
The project is seeking solutions which will be new to the social care market that will meet identified needs. These identified needs are outlined in the specification, but as the solution will be new to the care market the solution may be something else. New to social care market means that the solution may be in use in another market and might need slight amendments to meet the requirements of the care sector or it might be a partially developed solution that has not been finalised or taken to the market yet.

two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The Social Care Innovation Programme (SCIP) is a £1.5M project, part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund and Northern Powerhouse. Led by East Riding of Yorkshire Council, with the University of Hull as a delivery partner, SCIP seeks to enhance the productivity, sustainability and quality of care provision through the effective use of innovative technologies.
One element of SCIP is the development, piloting and evaluation of a small number of ‘new-to-market’ (new to the care market) products. Since commencing the project, we have worked with care providers to identify particular areas where gaps in technology and service availability may exist and where SCIP should focus support. We are therefore seeking proposals for the development of innovative technologies in key areas where a need has been identified. A minimum of four solutions will be progressed through innovation partnerships – one solution may cover multiple areas of development, or we may progress more than one solution in a particular area.

The COVID pandemic has brought into sharp focus some of the challenges of maintaining communication with recipients of care in a time when face-to-face interaction can be limited. In particular, providers have had to develop new approaches to facilitating remote communication between care home residents and their family/friends, utilising platforms such as Zoom and FaceTime. For service users in their own home, limitations on face-to-face visits have exacerbated social isolation and loneliness.

Though there are systems available that support organisational preparation for CQC inspections, we believe that there remains a gap in the market for further development of systems that underpin quality enhancement and the evidence of this required within CQC inspection.
