    Liverpool City Council will undertake a second phase of market engagement to further test, refine, and validate the emerging service model for the future Technology Enabled Care (TEC) Managed Service. This phase will also provide an overview of the anticipated procurement approach ahead of the more…future tender publication. This forthcoming engagement session will be delivered via Microsoft Teams and will build on the insights gathered in February 2026. The Council will engage with providers across the TEC, digital wellbeing, monitoring, sensor‑technology, and innovative care‑technology sectors to explore more detailed aspects of service design, commercial options, and delivery models. This activity supports the Council's wider transformation agenda, which seeks to move from a traditional prescriber‑led telecare model to a data‑driven, outcomes‑focused TEC ecosystem embedded within Adult Social Care. Please note: This engagement does not form part of any current or future procurement process. Participation or non‑participation will not influence the outcome of any future competitive exercise. No financial or contractual commitment arises from taking part.
