Summary of the contracting process

The Sovereign Network Group is actively seeking suppliers for the provision of a Personal Safety Device solution, which includes both physical devices and a mobile application aimed at enhancing safety for colleagues in community, customer-facing, and high-risk environments. The procurement process is tagged as 'tender' and currently in the tender stage. This tender, identified by the code “067041-2026”, falls under the "services" procurement category. The competitive flexible procedure is in place, commencing with the Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) and Initial Tender submission, potentially followed by a negotiation/dialogue stage. The estimated contract value is £1,075,000, with a deadline for tender submissions slated for 10th August 2026 at 11:00 AM BST. The service is meant to support areas in the United Kingdom, specifically managed through the Sovereign House, Basingstoke office.

This procurement opportunity is ideal for businesses specializing in safety equipment, security software, IT services, and alarm systems. SMEs that provide comprehensive managed services including a 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centre, logistics and lifecycle support, and integration with HR systems are well-positioned to compete. Organisations capable of delivering a modern, scalable personal safety service with potential extensions of up to six years can leverage this tender to expand their business footprint within the public sector, offering a significant growth potential through a substantial and long-term service provision to a respected public authority. The inclusion of roles beyond standard PSD solutions, such as potential future provision of body-worn cameras, further broadens the scope for diverse business capabilities and innovation.

The Bidders should note that their Initial bid should be submitted to the best of their understanding of the project and as accurate as possible under the stage one (1). Only the mathematically capable bidders will be invited to Stage two(2) and the Final evaluation, whether from Initial Tenders or Final Tender submission, will identify the Most Advantageous Tender, with one supplier appointed subject to governance approval.
