UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council is seeking a lone-worker safety service for its Adult Care and Wellbeing Services. It needs a solution to monitor staff travelling to and from appointments, help safeguard workers meeting clients they do not know, and protect staff carrying out hazardous tasks alone on site. The requirement is for a practical, cost-effective service that supports employees working without colleagues present. The work is in health and social care services, with delivery specified in the United Kingdom. Suppliers should be able to provide a monitoring and safety solution suited to staff working in the community and in potentially hazardous situations.

The council invited offers through an open competition. The process reached the tender stage, with submissions due by 29 October 2026 at 17:00 and enquiries due by 20 October 2026 at 11:00. The stated contract period runs from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2028, with an option to extend for a further 12 months. The estimated value is £35,000 excluding VAT (£42,000 including VAT); the extension option has an additional stated value of £17,500. There is one lot, identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. Evaluation is weighted 80% on price and 20% on quality.

This opportunity is suited to suppliers able to deliver a lone-worker monitoring and safeguarding solution for adult care staff, including support for travel between destinations, visits to unfamiliar clients and hazardous work undertaken alone. A strong fit would be a supplier with experience serving care or other community-based workforces, and the operational capacity to support employees working across different locations and risk situations. The service needs to help staff feel protected while enabling the council to monitor lone working. The requirement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, making it accessible to specialist providers as well as larger suppliers. Commercial competition places greatest weight on price, while quality also forms part of the assessment.
