Falls prevention remote monitoring tool - North Central London CCG

North Central London CCG is seeking information only, from the marketplace, to inform its thinking on the options for the provision of a remote monitoring solution to residents. We intend to use the information provided to develop suitable specifications and service delivery options.

North Central London CCG have been delivering a Care Providers Digital Maturity programme across all 5 boroughs over the few years, aiming to improve providers digital capability and maturity. As part of this NCL would like to pilot a remote monitoring tool within care homes focused on the prevention of falls.

NCL is focused on reducing the number of falls our residents within care homes have and would like to use additional remote monitoring tools in combination with improved specialist input to do this. NCL will focus on providing holistic care to our residents and putting measures in place to reduce all risks to falling.

The CCG wishes to learn from organisations active in the market and to test its current thinking against market expectations. Responses to the questionnaire will be critical to enabling the CCG to make informed decisions about how to proceed with the development of the next iteration of the remote monitoring in NCL.

This notice is not a call for competition and does not commit NCL CCG to carrying out any procurement exercises in relation to this project.

Responding to the questionnaire does not confer any advantage or disadvantage on organisations in relation to any future procurement exercise that may take place.

Participation in this exercise will not include or preclude any organisation from participating in any future procurement exercise. Any responses you provide will not prejudice your involvement in any future procurement exercise. This exercise does not mean that the CCG is obliged to conduct a procurement exercise or award contract for future activity. No information provided in your response will be used in any evaluation of any subsequent response to a potential future procurement tendering exercise.

The CCG will not be responsible for meeting any costs you may incur in participating in this exercise.

We are seeking responses to the questions from any interested parties. It would be helpful if you could answer as many of the questions as possible. The CCG may contact respondents for further information following review of RFI responses.

Please download, complete and submit a completed copy of the RFI Questionnaire via the portal before the closing date of 24th January 2022 at 12:00 noon.

The CCG may enter into discussions with respondents to understand more about their submitted responses to further inform decision on how to proceed with the development of the next iteration of the remote monitoring capability in NCL.
