Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process, managed by Durham County Council, focused on the provision of lone worker safety services and devices specifically for street lighting and highways inspectors. The awarded tender is titled "003431 - Lone worker safety services and devices for street lighting and highways inspectors" and falls under the industry category of safety equipment. The contract was awarded through a call-off from the G-Cloud 14 Framework Agreement and involved a selective procurement method. The location of the contract delivery is in the North East region of the United Kingdom. The process has moved through various stages, with the award being active as of 30th May 2026, covering a contract period starting from 1st June 2026 and ending on 31st May 2029.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in the development or supply of safety equipment, particularly those specialising in lone worker protection technologies such as apps, wearables, or GPS devices. Given its selective method within a framework agreement, it favours businesses that are already part of the G-Cloud 14 or similar frameworks, but it is also suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) seeking to expand their presence in the public sector. The awarded supplier, Skyguard Limited T/A Peoplesafe, underscores the competitiveness of larger entities in this space, suggesting opportunities for businesses focusing on innovation and reliability in safety solutions. The contract's alignment with long-term public safety projects in a key public infrastructure area could be particularly attractive for enterprises aiming to secure enduring government partnerships.
