Summary of the contracting process

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) based in Southampton, England, has completed the procurement process for a "Lone Worker Protection App" under the industry category of "Software package and information systems." This direct procurement was carried out using a single tender action (below threshold), valuing £38,027. The procurement process, which began earlier this year, culminated in an award on 22 August 2024, with the contract set to run from 6 September 2024 to 5 September 2026. The contract applies to multiple regions including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom.

This tender provides significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in software solutions designed to enhance workplace safety. The contract was awarded to PeopleSafe, part of the Send for Help Ltd Group, a large supplier located in Epsom, Surrey. SMEs with innovative safety app solutions would have been well-suited to compete for such opportunities, given the MCA's interest in enhancing lone worker protection through technological means.
