Summary of the contracting process

Amplius Living procured lone-working safety devices as a service, intended to support people working alone. The requirement is classified as safety equipment and is located in the South East of England. The buying organisation is Amplius Living, based in Milton Keynes. The procurement description refers to “loan working devices”, while the title identifies the requirement as lone-working devices.

The procurement is complete and Reliance High Tech Ltd was selected for the contract. The award was made on 24 July 2026. The awarded value is £157,023. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The original submission deadline was 1 July 2026. The procurement was for services, and the stated suitability information indicates it was not suited to SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation basis or detailed procedure is provided in the procurement information.

This award demonstrates demand from Amplius Living for lone-working devices delivered as a service, rather than simply a one-off equipment purchase. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to supply and support safety devices for lone workers, with the operational capacity to serve a large housing organisation across the South East. The selected supplier, Reliance High Tech Ltd, is recorded as a large business, and the stated suitability information excluded SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The contract therefore points to a requirement suited to an established provider able to deliver the service at organisational scale. Suppliers focused on unrelated safety equipment or device sales without service capability are less closely aligned with this demonstrated demand.
