Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council procured the provision and installation of Digital XT Warden Call Systems across 22 housing schemes. This is a specialist installation service for housing environments, involving the supply, fitting and likely commissioning of digital warden call equipment used to support communication and resident safety. The work is located across the North East of England. The council is the buyer and commissioning organisation. The procurement sits within installation services rather than goods supply alone, so relevant businesses are those able to provide the systems and undertake their installation as an integrated service. The requirement concerns housing schemes rather than a single building, indicating a multi-site delivery programme for council-managed residential accommodation.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Darlington Borough Council selected SecureShield Limited on 1 August 2026. The award value is £901,235 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2032. The opportunity was run as a selective procedure and was a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open standalone tender. The tender submission deadline was 16 June 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was categorised as services and covered the provision and installation of systems at 22 housing schemes. The procurement records the opportunity as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations.

This award demonstrates sustained council demand for a specialist supplier able to deliver Digital XT Warden Call Systems across multiple housing schemes and manage installation at scale. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical expertise in digital warden call technology, the ability to supply compatible equipment, and experienced installation teams capable of working across occupied or operational residential settings. The requirement favours businesses that can coordinate multi-site delivery, maintain consistent technical standards and provide dependable project management from equipment provision through installation. The recorded procurement route also shows that access to an appropriate framework agreement can be commercially important. Although the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs, the successful supplier is recorded as an SME, indicating that specialist capability and delivery capacity were central in practice.
