The existing contract with Welbeing, who
provides telecare services in behalf of East Sussex County Council
allows for a two-year extension up to 31 August 2023.

East Sussex and explore the opportunities that have arisen from
recent technological advances.

Decision published: 16/08/2021
Effective from: 21/08/2021

· Enable the Council to undertake a full review of the market alongside key stakeholders and develop a specification that maximises the technical developments in this area;
· Provide an opportunity to upgrade all of the analogue telecare equipment in advance of the digital switchover in 2025; and
· Maximise the financial benefits of the current contract structure through ongoing reductions in unit costs as a result of the incremental increases in the number of connections against a static contract value.
