Cirrus is pleased to announce that it has been selected by Northern Housing Consortium (NHC) as a supplier on the Assistive Living framework.

This agreement enables NHC members to procure security systems, fire safety systems, telecare equipment and associated services including comprehensive maintenance, through a framework compliant with EU Procurement Directives.

Under the framework Cirrus can supply, install and maintain equipment in the following categories

• Pendants
• Security and safety
• Fire safety systems and equipment
• Base units
• Environmental controls
• Personal monitors and sensors
• Location monitoring
• Vital signs monitoring

In addition, under lot 3 Cirrus can provide maintenance for call monitoring centre equipment.

Sister company CarelineUK has also been selected as a framework partner for personal alarm monitoring, out-of-hours emergency call handling and telehealth monitoring of long-term conditions such as Diabetes, COPD and high blood pressure. Collectively the two companies provide consortium members with the option of a complete telecare service from experienced providers that between them handle over 90,000 service and maintenance jobs and 1.5 million calls each year.

Andy Davey, Managing Director for Cirrus and CarelineUK said “This is a particularly important agreement for the social housing sector. With both companies selected as framework partners we can offer NHC members a comprehensive suite of services.”

“We look forward to continuing work with long-standing customers and the opportunity to offer the same independent advice, high levels of service and excellent value to other members of the Consortium.”
