The interest of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is welcomed, making this an ideal opportunity for agile firms looking to expand their market reach in public sector contracts.

Notice Title

LONE WORKERS PROTECTION SOLUTION

Notice Description

The VOA is currently undergoing significant, transformational change. Of the 3,600 staff employed by the VOA, up to 1470 of them will engage in lone working whilst fulfilling their duties. The Agency takes the wellbeing of its staff very seriously, and has historically operated robust policies and procedures designed to ensure the safety of its lone workers. However, the substantial increase in the number of VOA's lone workers means that the Agency has to enhance its efforts to ensure their safety. Advances in technology and proven market offerings suggest that a digital service operated by a third party supplier is the most appropriate solution for the VOA.
