C-Care is led by Kent County Council and involves 3 other English and 3 French partner organisations who are jointly implementing the project. C-Care will provide support to businesses and individuals at risk of exclusion in the France-Channel England area to aid economic recovery. As part of this project, the Growth & Communities Division within GET is leading on a technology resilience voucher pilot scheme to provide support to Kent businesses. The scheme was launched in November 2021 when Kent SMEs could start to apply for vouchers. A framework of suppliers was procured during the summer of 2021 which resulted in seven suppliers being selected and approved to provide services to Kent businesses under the voucher scheme. A total number of 385 applications were received between November 2021 and June 2022 and 320 were approved. However, 74 (23.12%) of these which have been withdrawn - the main reason being given by SMEs was a lack of a suitable supplier on the framework to deliver the service they wanted. Not every lot was filled by suppliers and only 4 of the 7 suppliers have actually been selected by beneficiary SMEs to complete a voucher project. Some current suppliers have also indicated that they are very near to reaching full capacity to deliver voucher projects. ## Lots (6) ### Lot 1: Web-based Activities - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** cancelled - **CPV codes:** 72000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKJ - **Description:** Enhancements to existing web sites or new landing pages facilitate online sales / bookings Interconnectivity with e-commerce and supply chain platforms ### Lot 2: Remote Working Technologies - **Lot id:** `2` - **Status:** cancelled - **CPV codes:** 72000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKJ - **Description:** Pivoting to cloud storage to help with remote team management and operational efficiency Online collaboration tools / CMS / CRM systems ### Lot 3: Software solutions & Apps - **Lot id:** `3` - **Status:** cancelled - **CPV codes:** 72000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKJ - **Description:** Development of apps / software solutions to better connect with customers Cyber security & data protection solutions (excluding statutory obligations linked to the General Data Protection Regulation - GDPR ### Lot 4: Digital Marketing & Promotional Activities - **Lot id:** `4` - **Status:** cancelled - **CPV codes:** 72000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKJ - **Description:** E-commerce activities (including international) Digital marketing / video / social media / SEO activity to expand customer reach or provide assurance of ‘Covid-secure’ operations Virtual product / business showcasing (including virtual tours, 3D mode... ### Lot 5: Skills & Capacity Building - **Lot id:** `5` - **Status:** cancelled - **CPV codes:** 72000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKJ - **Description:** Staff training / digital upskilling including transitioning to hybrid working, programming, cyber & data security etc Virtual meeting tools and training for improving efficiency / connecting to customers ### Lot 6: Equipment & small Investments to facilitate digital activity - **Lot id:** `6` - **Status:** cancelled - **CPV codes:** 72000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKJ - **Description:** Investments or equipment to facilitate a new digital process or improve digital resilience including spatial computing Digital infrastructure solutions for click & collect, invoicing etc., infrastructure systems including remote working solutions / V... ## Awards & Winning Suppliers (1) - **Award:** SC22223 - C-Care Technology Resilience Voucher Scheme (active) - Award id: `003656-2023-SC22223-1` - Supplier(s): **Kent County Council** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-FTS-85` - Value: £1,000 † (exc.
