UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Blackpool Coastal Housing Limited procured lone-worker software and associated devices for its staff and ARC response operations. The requirement is categorised as goods, specifically security software, covering the technology used to support workers who operate alone and the equipment supplied with it. Delivery and use are in Blackpool and the surrounding Blackpool area. The procurement concerns a single requirement rather than a range of separately described services, and the buyer is a housing organisation with responsibility for its own workforce. Suppliers active in lone-worker protection, workforce safety technology, personal safety devices, monitoring platforms or related security software would find the subject matter most relevant. The requirement combines software provision with devices, so businesses offering an integrated product rather than software alone may be well aligned.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The award was made on 26 August 2026 to First 2 Help You Limited, an SME. The contract was signed on 26 August 2026 and runs from 8 September 2026 to 7 September 2029. Its gross value is £56,400. The award covers the single completed lot for the lone-worker software and devices requirement, with delivery in Blackpool. The selected supplier is active under the award and the contract is active. The process used limited competition rather than an open tender; the published outcome identifies the subject and security-software classification, but does not set out separate scoring weightings or detailed selection requirements.

This award provides a clear reference point for suppliers tracking Blackpool Coastal Housing Limited’s demand for lone-worker protection. A credible future competitor would need a dependable software platform for supporting lone workers, compatible or integrated safety devices, and the ability to serve both housing staff and ARC response operations. The requirement indicates that the buyer values a combined technology and device solution rather than an isolated consultancy service. Experience delivering security software and personal-safety technology to organisations with staff working alone would strengthen a supplier’s position. Because the original route was a below-threshold limited competition, businesses should be prepared to demonstrate a focused, practical offer and concise evidence that their system and devices can support the buyer’s operational workforce.
