Summary of the contracting process

The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) is seeking a provider for a service contract titled "Lone Worker Safety Solution", classified under the industry category of Health and Safety Services. This procurement is to implement a digital service that provides assistance in potentially dangerous situations and autonomously detects distress, escalating incidents to the service provider if necessary. Located in London, UK, this service contract has reached the tender update stage with significant amendments published, clarifying the award notice requirements. The procurement process is conducted via the limited method through the GCloud 14 Framework, thus negating the need for a prior call for competition publication. Key date for the contract indicates that it was signed on 30th October 2025, and its completion status was confirmed on 6th February 2026, reflecting a well-defined procurement timeline.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in safety systems and digital solutions to expand their portfolio by participating in government contracts, particularly those experienced in framework agreements like GCloud. Businesses characterised as small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are well-suited to compete, exemplified by the contract award to Skyguard Limited T/A Peoplesafe, highlighting the open opportunities for SMEs in public procurement. The contract via the GCloud 14 Framework allows flexible business growth, with potential for expansion through an optional one-year extension, offering stability and growth potential within the governmental safety services sector.
