Title attributed to the contract: Social Care Innovation Programme New to Market Products
Description:
The East Riding of Yorkshire Council (ERYC) and the University of Hull (UoH) have received part funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and Northern Powerhouse to support a £1.5 Million project to drive innovation in the social care sector. The Social Care Innovation Programme (SCIP) employs a research-led approach, identifying the key challenges for social care providers, and the smart technologies that can be implemented to support them in reducing the challenges they face. The East Riding of Yorkshire is seeking solutions which will be new to the social care market that will meet identified needs. These identified needs are outlined in the specification, along with some possibilities of solutions, but as the solution will be new to the care market the solution may be something that is not covered. New to social care market means that the solution may be in use in another market and might need slight amendments to meet the requirements of the care sector, alternatively it might be a solution that has been partially developed but as not been finalised or taken to the market yet.

User / Company
The Social Care Innovation Programme (SCIP) is a £1.5M project, part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund and Northern Powerhouse. Led by East Riding of Yorkshire Council, with the University of Hull as a delivery partner, SCIP seeks to enhance the productivity, sustainability and quality of care provision through the effective use of innovative technologies. One element of SCIP is the development, piloting and evaluation of a small number of ‘new-to-market’ (new to the care market) products. Since commencing the project, we have worked with care providers to identify particular areas where gaps in technology and service availability may exist and where SCIP should focus support. We are therefore seeking proposals for the development of innovative technologies in key areas where a need has been identified. A minimum of four solutions will be progressed through innovation partnerships – one solution may cover multiple areas of development, or we may progress more than one solution in a particular area.
