## Summary

Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust procured a fully managed lone-worker safety and monitoring service for community colleagues. The requirement covers standardised personal safety devices with flexible wearing options, reliable connectivity using managed or roaming SIMs, and continuous 24/7/365 monitoring through an accredited Alarm Receiving Centre. The service also includes escalation to operational managers and emergency services, a management portal for device allocation, escalation-list management, audit trails and usage reporting, and an implementation and transition programme covering rollout, migration, communications and training. Ongoing support includes fault replacement, logistics, accessories, and processes for lost or damaged devices. This is a safety-equipment service delivered for the Trust’s operations across Yorkshire and the Humber, England.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 25 August 2026 to SKYGUARD LIMITED. It was run as a selective call-off from the NHS Supply Chain framework for Technology Enabled Care, Electronic Assistive Technology and Lone Worker Devices, specifically Lot 9. The award value is £224,016 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, for an initial three-year term. The tender record also gives an estimated procurement value of £90,000 and a minimum estimated value of £224,016. The tender submission deadline was 31 August 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was classified as a services procurement for safety equipment, with suitability marked as unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs.

This award shows a requirement for a supplier able to provide an end-to-end lone-worker protection service rather than devices alone. A credible future competitor would need dependable personal safety hardware, flexible wearing options, managed or roaming mobile connectivity, and a continuously staffed, accredited Alarm Receiving Centre capable of escalating incidents appropriately. It would also need the operational capacity to manage device allocation, escalation contacts, audit trails and usage reporting through a secure management portal. Evidence of a controlled implementation service would matter, including rollout, migration, communications and user training. Ongoing capability in technical support, replacement devices, logistics, accessories, and handling lost or damaged equipment would be important for serving this NHS Trust at comparable scale.
