Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Barnet awarded a contract on 25th July 2025 for the provision of a Lone Working Alert System and Personal Protective Devices. The contract, valued at £200,000, was granted to Solo Protect, a large supplier based in Sheffield. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically targeting investigation and security services, and was executed using a direct procurement method without competition, referred to as a light touch regime under the legal framework of the Procurement Act 2023. This contract covers the London region, UKI71, and has a duration from 8th May 2025 to 31st March 2028, with potential renewals subject to budget and performance.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in security and safety systems to establish themselves as key service providers for public authorities. Companies that offer innovative solutions for lone working scenarios, particularly those capable of delivering under strict compliance with regulatory standards, would be well-placed to compete for similar public contracts. While the direct award nature of this procurement method might limit open competition, businesses can benefit from observing such contracts to align their offerings with public safety requirements and standards.
