Description

Milton Keynes City Council ('the Council') is keen to explore how we can best use innovative remote monitoring technologies to enhance the support we provide to our residents.

We are planning a supplier showcase event to engage with providers in the TEC sector and discover solutions that help us deliver smarter, more responsive care.

We are particularly interested in solutions that address:

(1) Temporary deployment to monitor routines and behaviours over a short period, helping us to better inform care planning and assessments.

(2) Long-term deployment to support independent living by providing ongoing monitoring, alerts, and insights that enable timely interventions and reassurance for individuals and their support networks.

We are keen to hear from providers on the questions given in the market engagement document. The responses to the questions will help the Council in developing the specification and the tender.

Please respond to the questions in the attached document by the latest time 5pm on Friday 5th September 2025 via In-Tend Correspondence section/market engagement stage.

If there is sufficient interest in a showcase event to explore the proposal in more detail, this will be held on the 12th September 2025, in person at Milton Keynes City Council Chambers. Please also indicate if you would like to receive an invitation which will be sent separately subject to interest.
