Summary of the contracting process

This contracting process involves Kerry Hunter, a public body focusing on housing and community amenities, located in Ashington, United Kingdom. The procurement is for the provision of Lone Worker Devices as part of the CCS Network Services 3 Framework (RM616), specifically for Housing Officers and maintenance operatives. Classified under Paging Services, the procurement falls outside the directive's scope, adopting a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition. The process is in the award stage, with the contract already signed on 31st July 2025 valued at £100,000, due to completion using the compliant framework under CCS RM6116. The service location is primarily in the UKC region.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses involved in paging and alerting services, particularly those capable of delivering specialised lone worker devices. Large-scale private entities, such as Vodafone Ltd—which succeeded in securing the contract—are well-positioned, but SMEs could also benefit, given the 132 bids made by small and medium enterprises. With the procurement method centred on price, opportunities lie in offering cost-effective solutions while meeting compliance standards, leveraging the vast electronic bid submissions count of 212 as an indication of market interest.
