Aster provides Technology Enabled Care (TEC) services across a range of grouped living, sheltered and extra care schemes, supporting residents through Hard-Wired alarm systems, Digital Alarm Units (DAUs), dispersed TEC devices and emergency call-handling arrangements.
As part of the national digital switchover, all analogue systems must transition to digital-ready solutions by 2027. This requires a coordinated approach across both the maintenance of physical TEC equipment and the delivery of monitoring and alarm receiving services.
Lot 1 covers the maintenance, servicing, repair and future upgrade of Aster's Hard-Wired alarm systems, DAUs,smoke detection and fire panels within dwellings. The Contractor will support Aster in ensuring equipment reliability, minimising downtime, maintaining accurate asset data and enabling a smooth transition from analogue to digital-ready systems. These services play a critical role in ensuring that residents can raise alerts safely and consistently.
Lot 2 covers Monitoring and Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) Services. The ARC is responsible for receiving alarm activations, responding to calls, triggering appropriate actions and supporting residents in emergency and welfare situations.
The ARC provider will also be responsible for onboarding new TEC users, including configuring monitoring profiles, ensuring alarms route correctly and maintaining up-to-date service user information. In addition, the ARC provider will be required to deliver a suite of performance and operational reports that enable Aster to review service outcomes, monitor compliance, identify trends and assure resident safety. Tenderers must therefore clearly outline the reports they propose to provide as part of their response. The ARC must provide key industry updates from the
TSA.
Together, the Lot 1 and Lot 2 services form an end-to-end TEC operating model that ensures residents receive a safe, reliable and digitally resilient service. Aster is seeking partners who can support this transformation, safeguard service continuity through the digital migration period and deliver a high-quality resident experience.

The Supply of DEXIS IXS Digital Intra Oral Sensors
In April 2015 the MOD signed a thirteen year contract with Leidos
Europe Ltd to provide the procurement and inventory management of
commodity items (as well as the storage and distribution services)
historically provided in-house by the Logistic Commodities and Services Operating Centre. Leidos, working with the MOD, will transform
the way these services are delivered to ensure requirements continue
to be met whilst providing best value for money for the department.
The organisation delivering these services is known as Team Leidos.
The Requirement is to procure DEXIS IXS sensors which have already
been ‘whitelisted’ for use within existing MOD IT infrastructure.
Estimated quantities: 687 units
The DEXIS IXS sensor has been MOD directed due to compatibility with
existing MOD IT systems. Introducing alternatives would require
extensive IT re integration resulting in significant additional cost, delay,
and delivery risk.
LSL is therefore proceeding via a Direct Award in accordance with the
Procurement Act 2023. Under Condition 41, Schedule 5 (Direct Award
Justifications), “Changing supplier would create disproportionate
technical difficulties, incompatibility risks and Significant delay. “These
conditions would apply if an alternative to the DEXIS sensor were
introduced.
For clarity, the reference to “changing supplier” within the Procurement
Act 2023 relates to a change in the OEM, in line with the requirement.
Competition will continue to be maintained at the distributor level, with
procurement conducted among approved distributors in the market.
The purpose of this tender notice is to ensure all interested companies,
suppliers, and manufacturers are aware of this opportunity. Suppliers
are invited to submit all responses for the proposed tender via the
Jaggaer platform. To request the tender documents, please log in to
Jaggaer and follow the steps to access the Leidos opportunity where
this tender has been published. Should Bidders have any queries
regarding the system, please contact the support team on the front
page of the Jaggaer website, where it
says 'Need assistance?', for help.
Any queries regarding the tender itself, as opposed to the system,
should
be directed through Jaggaer's messaging centre.
