Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process managed by Somerset County Council aims to secure the provision of Lone Worker Devices, classified under alarm-monitoring services. The contracting authority has initiated an open tender procedure, with a submission deadline set for 4th May 2021. This project is part of a broader initiative to enhance the safety of employees working alone, particularly in social work and public-facing roles, highlighting the urgency introduced by the Covid-19 pandemic. The project's total initial contract value is £67,320, with options to extend the contract for an additional two years.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in safety equipment and personal monitoring services, particularly those capable of providing innovative solutions for lone worker safety.

Notice Title

Provision of Lone Worker Devices for Somerset County Council

Notice Description

The project was endorsed by a steering group to oversee a wider project with the aim of creating a standard lone working process for all areas of the organisation and assess whether additional measures were required to improve the safety of employees that operate in a lone working environment. As part of this project, a number of requirements and recommendations were realised which included the need for personal safety devices to provide an additional layer of protection to those workers. Key staff include social workers within Adults and Children's services, AONB, transport services, Facilities Management as well as other public-facing roles. Since the onset of Covid-19 there is now added urgency to these needs due to the number of staff having to spend time more working alone. Values within this notice are for the initial contract period only. The contract has two x 12 months optional extensions taking the total full contract value to PS134,640.
