Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority has awarded a contract for providing lone worker devices under the Procure Public Lone Worker Protection Framework. The procurement process, classified in the minicomputer hardware category, intends to serve multiple regions, including the United Kingdom, Europe, and other global locations. Orbis Protect Limited has been selected as the supplier, with the contract active from 21st August 2026 until 20th August 2030. The procurement stage for this contract is currently at 'award,' with the final decision made on 25th February 2026. The tender, identified as IT-611-60-DWFRS 2025/037 - AWARD, concluded its tender period on 16th January 2026.

This tender provides substantial business growth opportunities for companies specialising in delivering device solutions for lone workers, particularly in the realms of safety and emergency response. Industries involved with minicomputer hardware, particularly those producing hardware and remote-control siren devices, would find this contract beneficial. Although the procurement does not specifically favour SMEs or VCSE organisations, businesses with relevant experience and capabilities in manufacturing radiography and radiodiagnostic devices could compete effectively. Being a part of the supply chain for the Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service enhances networking prospects and opens doors for future contracts within the protective services sector.
