Summary of the contracting process

Norwich City Council has recently completed the procurement process for a service titled "Lone Worker Solutions," aimed at enhancing security for employees working alone. The procurement falls under the security equipment category and is managed through a call-off from the G-Cloud14 Framework with Crown Commercial Service (CCS). The contract, valued at £110,980, covers the supply of ID badge devices and a supportive phone application, backed by a 24/7 call centre. Located in the East of England, this contract started on 30th August 2025 and is set to run until 29th August 2028. The selective procurement method was employed, and the contract was awarded to Skyguard T/A Peoplesafe on 30th July 2025, with the award published on 22nd August 2025.

This procurement presents promising opportunities for businesses specialising in security services, particularly those with innovative solutions for lone worker safety. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can provide robust technological support and customer service infrastructure will find this field lucrative. As the contract has been sourced through a well-established framework, companies already positioned within such frameworks stand a better chance of winning similar tenders, enhancing business growth by leveraging government contracts.
