Digital Scheme Based Solutions
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Connexus Homes Limited, a housing association based in Craven Arms, United Kingdom, recently completed a public procurement process titled “Digital Scheme Based Solutions.” The procurement falls under the telecommunications equipment and supplies category, aiming to replace outdated scheme alarms with a digital solution to ensure uninterrupted services for vulnerable adults as analogue systems are phased out. The main procurement category was goods, and the contract was signed with Careium UK Limited on 5th December 2024 for Lot 3, which focuses on the Housing For Older People (HFOP) schemes.
The project was delivered across Shropshire and Herefordshire under an open procurement method. The total contract value was £373,587.80. This procurement process offers significant business opportunities for companies specializing in telecommunications and safety equipment, software packages, and maintenance services.
Suppliers capable of providing innovative digital solutions that meet stringent technical and quality criteria would be well-suited to compete. The procurement provides an avenue for businesses to collaborate with Connexus Homes Limited, a central purchasing body, enhancing their market presence in the housing and community social services sectors. Engaging in such projects could facilitate growth for businesses focused on telecommunications infrastructure, fire-detection systems, and the maintenance of health and social work services.
As part of the digital switchover, Connexus Homes Limited are looking for a transformative digital solution to replace its existing scheme alarm provision which is not compatible with the new digital standards within existing schemes to ensure it fully functions once analogue services are switched off. This will mean that vulnerable adults across the schemes will continue to have access to this provision without any interruptions in their service.
Lot 1 (7 schemes) - This lot consists of mainly of flats (with some bungalows) with an average of circa 31 residences per scheme. Most of these schemes have communal areas, linked fire alarms, communal door entry systems, and LD1 (Level of Detection Category 1) compliant interlinked fire and heat detection. All existing cabling must not be reused in any part of the new solution for these schemes and all existing visible and non-visible cabling and equipment must be removed, compliantly disposed of and any damaged areas made good (including the removal of any internal or external UAC boxes and the making good of any damage to exterior walls).
Lot 2 (29 schemes) - This lot consists predominately of bungalows (with some flats) with an average of circa 21 residences per scheme. Most of these schemes have communal areas, although very few with linked fire detection and none with communal door entry requirements. These schemes are classed as 'independent living' so have staff assigned to those schemes and will require LD1-compliant interlinked smoke & heat sensors in each property. All existing cabling must not be reused in any part of the new solution for these schemes and all existing visible and non-visible cabling and equipment must be removed, compliantly disposed of and any damaged areas made good (including the removal of any internal or external UAC boxes and the making good of any damage to exterior walls).
Lot 3 (42 schemes) - This lot consists of a mix of bungalows and flats with an average of circa 19 residences per scheme. Most of these schemes have no communal areas, no linked fire detection and no communal door entry requirements. These schemes are classed as Housing For Older People (HFOP) so do not have staff assigned to those schemes and there is no requirement for interlinked smoke & heat sensors in each property. All existing cabling must not be reused in any part of the new solution for these schemes and all existing visible and non-visible cabling and equipment must be removed, compliantly disposed of and any damaged areas made good (including the removal of any internal or external UAC boxes and the making good of any damage to exterior walls).
