Summary of the contracting process

The Forestry Commission, a key national authority headquartered in Bristol, is the buying organisation for this procurement process titled "Provision of Lone Working System". Falling under the health and safety services category, this contract entails providing lone working technology and services throughout the UK. Initially tendered in 2024, with the procurement method classified as an open procedure, the process saw several key dates: the tender period closed on 16th September 2024, with the contract being awarded later to Skyguard Limited T/A Peoplsafe. The contract, valued at £678,600, was activated on 15th March 2025, signifying the procurement stage's culmination in awarding the contract.

The tender invites business growth opportunities, particularly for enterprises specialising in health and safety technology and services. With a substantial contract value, those with innovative solutions for lone working systems stand to benefit immensely. While the process was executed as an open tender, it highlighted suitability for SMEs, making it an ideal competition ground for both small and medium enterprises aiming to expand their portfolio in public sector contracts. Potential suppliers already experienced in electronic submission and service delivery across the UK would find this opportunity particularly well-suited to their capabilities.
