CP2355-23 - Technology Enabled Care and Support

Devon County Council is seeking to meet Adult Health and Social Care need through the provision of Technology Enabled Care and Support (TECS). 7 years ago, Devon took the decision to deliver TECS as part of its Community Equipment Service (CES) contract, which at the time appeared to represent the most practical and advantageous arrangement. Our current ‘combined’ contract expires in June 2024. We are now seeking to publish a Prior Information Notice to consult with the market leaders in the field and obtain their insights as to the future design of our contract and answer the question as to whether we should continue with a combined TECS and CES arrangement or decouple them.
