Call Monitoring of Teleheath Alarm Systems

Guinness is looking for a provider of an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) to deliver a 24/7/365 day service to monitor and answer alarm calls sent from the telecare systems in our homes for older people. We want a provider that has experience of monitoring telehealth alarm calls, across similar volumes and with experience of providing the appropriate response to reassure the customer and escalate as required to the appropriate emergency service. As a precursor to commencing a procurement process we are issuing this Prior Information Notice (PIN) as a soft market testing exercise to enable Guinness to gain a better understanding of the providers in the market, their capability and capacity and their views on our outline approach. It is not mandatory to respond and equally, information submitted will not be evaluated or count towards the future tender process.
