Summary of the contracting process

East Riding of Yorkshire Council procured an assisted lifeguard technology solution for drowning detection. The requirement combines specialist monitoring hardware and communications equipment with software, information systems and associated IT services. It is intended to support the Council’s leisure and aquatic safety services, including the supply of solution hardware, software, licensing, functionality and general services, with additional purchases possible where they maintain or improve service performance. Delivery is for East Riding of Yorkshire, with the Council based in Beverley. The procurement is primarily for goods, with supporting services. Relevant suppliers include technology providers able to deliver an integrated drowning-detection solution rather than a standalone product, alongside implementation, support and related service capability for a public-sector leisure environment.

The procurement has been awarded following an open competitive flexible procedure. Lynxight Tech Limited was selected on 6 August 2026; the award remains subject to the stated standstill ending on 18 August 2026. The award is £2,245,000 excluding VAT (£2,694,000 including VAT). The contract period is 21 August 2026 to 31 October 2030, with three optional 24-month extensions available to 31 October 2036. The original estimated value was £1,400,000 excluding VAT (£1,680,000 including VAT). The Council received two bids, with one reaching the final stage. Evaluation gave equal weighting to whole-life cost and non-price quality, each 50%; quality involved pass/fail requirements, method statements and a solution demonstration.

This award shows a defined requirement for technology that can detect drowning incidents and support assisted lifeguarding in a council leisure setting. A credible future competitor would need to combine reliable detection hardware, communications equipment and software with the IT services needed to operate, support and improve the solution. Evidence should cover mandatory pass/fail conditions, technical understanding through clear method statements, and the ability to demonstrate the working solution. Suppliers should also be able to price whole-life costs, provide licensing and additional functionality, and offer general services within the solution’s scope. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that specialist technology businesses can compete where they can provide an integrated, demonstrable and supportable service.
