Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council has awarded a contract for the Personal Safety Device Framework, aimed at enhancing health and safety services across the UK. The procurement process, using the open procedure method, culminated in the award to Totalmobile Limited, a large-scale supplier based in Belfast. This framework is vital for various services including Local Authorities, Health, Police, Fire and Rescue, and Education, among others, and offers managed Lone Worker and Personal Safety solutions. The framework is accessible for entities like Suffolk County Council and other UK contracting authorities, with devices and training provided for a safe working environment. The contract, valued at £6 million, was signed on 12th January 2022 with an expiration set for 31st May 2026, extended due to unforeseen network changes affecting device functionality.

The Personal Safety Device Framework offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for firms specialising in health and safety services. Companies with the capability to provide advanced technological solutions and training for personal safety devices can benefit from participating in such frameworks, given their widespread applicability across numerous sectors. The procurement criteria prioritised quality (70%) and price (30%), creating chances for businesses that can meet high safety standards while offering competitive pricing. The framework agreement, lasting till 2026 with the possibility of future renewals, supports varied operational needs, and is ideal for companies capable of delivering reliable safety technologies adaptable to diverse risk profiles and environments.
