## Summary

The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) is planning a tender for a "Lone Workers Protection Solution," aimed at enhancing the safety and wellbeing of its estimated 1,470 lone-working staff. This procurement falls under the emergency and security equipment category and is set to address an increase in the number of staff working alone. The engagement end date is 1st March 2018, and businesses are encouraged to submit their interest before this deadline. The VOA is located at Wingate House, 93-107 Shaftesbury Avenue, London, England.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in digital solutions for employee safety and security. Companies that can offer innovative technologies and proven services in emergency and security equipment are particularly well-suited to compete. The interest of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is welcomed, making this an ideal opportunity for agile firms looking to expand their market reach in public sector contracts.

## Notice

The VOA is currently undergoing significant, transformational change. Of the 3,600 staff employed by the VOA, up to 1470 of them will engage in lone working whilst fulfilling their duties. The Agency takes the wellbeing of its staff very seriously, and has historically operated robust policies and procedures designed to ensure the safety of its lone workers. However, the substantial increase in the number of VOA's lone workers means that the Agency has to enhance its efforts to ensure their safety. Advances in technology and proven market offerings suggest that a digital service operated by a third party supplier is the most appropriate solution for the VOA.
