30th April 2025 The Government has announced plans to introduce new national standards and trusted guidance for care technology – and now is the time to have your say. To support this policy development, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has launched a market engagement exercise via Find a Tender, seeking written input from across the care technology sector. These standards will influence how technologies are assessed, commissioned, and adopted — making it essential that the voice of our sector is heard. This is a vital opportunity to influence what “good” looks like in care tech and to help shape the standards that will guide future innovation, procurement, and delivery. Stakeholders invited to respond include: • Care technology suppliers and innovators We strongly encourage our members to participate and share their expertise. How to take part: • A link to a short online questionnaire The notice is open for 8 weeks Please note this is a market engagement activity only – not a procurement exercise – but your feedback will directly shape future policy. This work supports the Government’s commitment to shift care: • From hospital to community-based settings Need assistance?
