Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body has completed the procurement process for Lone Worker Protection services under the Mobile Voice and Data Services Framework SP-22-005, with a contract awarded to Vodafone Limited. This award was part of a call-off procedure without prior publication or competition, aligning with the Scottish Government Framework Agreement procedures. The service delivery will take place in Edinburgh, with the contract being signed on 17th March 2026. This procurement focuses on services related to worker safety, categorised under CPV classification 72000000, and involves GPS-enabled devices and monitoring services.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in worker safety technologies and services, particularly those providing advanced monitoring and alert systems. Subcontracting possibilities exist, as the services including devices, platform access, and support will be delivered by Orbis on behalf of Vodafone. Large-scale industry players already established within framework agreements can leverage this opportunity to reinforce their market presence. The procurement method was limited, allowing direct award, ideal for businesses with pre-existing relationships and agreements within government frameworks.
