OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Angus Council is planning a procurement process for the provision of a Lone Working App and Devices aimed at enhancing staff safety across various departments. The tender falls under the industry category of general public services and has a specific focus on goods (CPV Code 48000000). The delivery location is Angus, and the procurement process is currently in the planning stage. Key dates to note include a future notice date set for 3rd March 2025. The procurement aims to mitigate risks associated with lone working, particularly in rural areas with limited GPS signal.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in safety applications and devices. Vendors offering innovative solutions that ensure the safety of lone workers in challenging environments will find this opportunity particularly relevant. Companies with expertise in developing robust mobile applications and devices that function effectively in rural areas are well-suited to compete. This procurement process offers a substantial growth opportunity, as the requirements are expected to be sizable, potentially running into the hundreds. Furthermore, businesses that understand the unique needs of regional and local authorities would have a competitive advantage.
