UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Futures Housing Group is seeking a provider for lone working services. The requirement concerns security and surveillance systems and devices used to support people working alone, with delivery across the United Kingdom. It is categorised as a goods procurement, although the stated requirement is for the provision of a service. The buyer is Futures Housing Group, a public authority based in Castle Donington. The opportunity is organised as a single requirement rather than separate service areas. Businesses should therefore consider whether they can supply and support lone-worker security solutions for the housing group’s operational needs across the UK, rather than treating this as a general security guarding or facilities-management contract. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The process has reached tender: Futures Housing Group invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It has one lot, with enquiries due by 3 August 2026 at 17:00 and tender submissions due by 10 August 2026 at 14:00. Bids may be submitted electronically. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 28 September 2029, with renewal rights for two further 12-month periods, allowing the arrangement to continue until 1 October 2031. The estimated value is £160,000 excluding VAT and £200,000 including VAT. Evaluation is weighted 70% for technical quality and 30% for commercial price, with pricing assessed against the attached pricing schedule. The contract is below the relevant threshold.

This opportunity suits suppliers that can provide dependable lone-worker security and surveillance systems, together with the associated provision and support needed by a housing organisation operating across the United Kingdom. The evaluation places greater emphasis on technical quality than price, so bidders should be able to demonstrate a technically credible solution and explain how it will meet the requirement in practice. Suppliers need the capacity to deliver consistently across the stated geography and throughout the planned multi-year contract arrangement, including any renewal periods. The procurement is explicitly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist security technology providers as well as larger organisations. Businesses whose main strength is guarding, general security consultancy or unrelated equipment supply may be less well aligned.
