UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Portsmouth City Council procured building works to replace analogue residential warden-call and telecare systems with digital systems. The initial pilot at Arthur Dann Court is intended to test the selected system before wider upgrades across sheltered housing blocks. The wider works cover communal areas and individual flats, including replacement cable runs, new containment, replacement warden-call units and an additional intercom point in each bedroom. The requirement responds to ageing equipment, faults and temporary loss of service, while supporting continuity as analogue telephone services are withdrawn. The later Phase 4 off-island blocks are The Beeches, Villa Gardens, Elsie Fudge House, Wakefield Court, Lyndhurst, St Clares Court, Tweed Court and Connors Keep. Delivery is in Portsmouth.

The procurement is complete and one supplier was awarded the single lot: Legrand Electric Limited. The contract was signed on 13 July 2026 and runs from 3 August to 25 December 2026. Its gross value is £124,439. The procurement used a below-threshold route, with the specific method recorded as unknown. The award covers works classified as building construction. The published outcome identifies an active award and an active contract, with Legrand responsible for the requirement. The pilot at Arthur Dann Court is the initial project, with the wider scheme described as possible further phased works following successful completion, rather than included as separate awarded lots. The requirement was evaluated through the procurement process that led to this award.

This award indicates demand for suppliers able to deliver complete digital warden-call and telecare system replacements in occupied or sheltered residential settings. Credible competitors would need to manage survey and installation work across communal areas and individual flats, replace cabling and containment, install resident communication equipment and provide bedroom intercom points. The requirement also favours suppliers that understand dependable emergency or welfare communication systems, service continuity and the risks associated with ageing analogue infrastructure. Experience coordinating a pilot before phased rollout would be relevant, as would the operational capacity to work across multiple sheltered blocks and maintain consistent equipment and installation standards. Businesses with proven building-services delivery and specialist residential care or telecare system capability are the closest fit for this buyer’s requirement.

Notice Information

Notice Title

3553 - Warden Call (Arthur Dann Court)

Notice Description

This project comprises of the replacement of existing analogue residential Warden and Telecare Call systems with new digital systems. The initial project will be a pilot scheme at Arthur Dann Court, to verify the operation of the chosen system and identify any issues before awarding the wider scheme of works. Based upon the award of the initial project and successful completion of these works, further upgrade works can then be awarded the following blocks, split over different phases: Phase 4 (Off Island Blocks): * The Beeches * Villa Gardens * Elsie Fudge House * Wakefield Court * Lyndhurst * St Clares Court * Tweed Court * Connors Keep In all blocks the existing warden call system will be replaced throughout the communal area as well as in each individual flat. Throughout each system the cable run will be replaced, and new containment installed. All existing Warden Call units will be replaced and an additional intercom unit point will be installed in each bedroom to provide a more efficient system. The analogue telephone services are being turned off nationwide in 2027, however, Portsmouth City Council have been permitted to keep the telephone lines which the current warden call systems rely upon in use until 2030. This is to allow for the Warden Call upgrades to be completed. Despite this extension, some Sheltered Blocks have had the phone lines disconnected which has resulted in no operational Warden Call System temporarily whilst BT reconnected the line. The current system installed is experiencing faults due to its age which is causing disruption/ loss of service to the Warden Call System, putting residents at risk. A robust and reliable new system is therefore required to ensure the Sheltered Scheme Blocks can continue to provide a high level of standard for vulnerable residents who need to utilise the Warden Call System.
