Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the provision of lone working devices was conducted by Chesterfield Borough Council, a public authority within the sub-central government. The contract was awarded on 20th May 2026, following a tender initiated to supply safety equipment aimed at protecting staff working alone. The contract involves providing portable personal alarm devices or mobile applications with features such as GPS tracking, emergency alert functionality, and 24/7 monitoring support. The procurement followed a "direct" method, below the threshold without competition, and covers goods in the industry category of safety equipment within the UKF region. The contract commenced on 14th May 2026 and is set to conclude on 13th May 2028, with the possibility of extension if mutually agreed upon by both parties.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in safety equipment technologies. Companies capable of offering innovative solutions for personal safety, particularly those with expertise in GPS tracking and emergency response systems, would be well-suited to compete in such procurement processes. The contract's execution by SKYGUARD LIMITED, a small to medium-sized enterprise, underlines the NHS demand for efficient, easily deployable, and reliable lone worker safety solutions, highlighting a potential growth area for similar businesses. Collaborating with public authorities like Chesterfield Borough Council could help suppliers further establish their presence in the safety equipment market, potentially leading to expanded service offerings.
