## Summary

The Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust is currently seeking a provider for a lone working system as part of an open tender for the "Lone Working Devices" project. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on emergency and security equipment. The tender period is set to conclude on 6th August 2018, while the contract is anticipated to commence on 1st September 2018 and last until 31st August 2020. The project aims to enhance the safety of staff working alone, particularly clinical staff visiting patients off-site, by ensuring immediate access to a 24-hour assistance system.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for security and emergency equipment providers, particularly those specialising in lone working systems and monitoring services. Businesses with expertise in designing and implementing safety solutions that offer quick response capabilities and reliable communication systems will be well-suited to compete for this contract. The successful bidder will have the chance to contribute to the health and safety of healthcare professionals, which not only enhances community welfare but also establishes a strong reputation in the healthcare industry.

## Notice

The TRUST is looking for one provider to provide a lone working system for its staff. Trust staff who work alone (including clinical staff visiting patients off-site) are vulnerable to incidents of violence and aggression. Therefore, the provision of specialist lone working alarm systems would significantly improve security and the safety for Trust staff who work alone (both off-site and on-site), by giving them access to immediate 24 hour assistance. The Trust requires a reliable system and simple lone working device for use to protect staff who work alone. A lone working device would need to be linked to a monitoring station (manned 24/7) where an operator and the member of staff can communicate. The operator can see the member of staff's profile, emergency escalation plan and location on Google Maps, so they can call the police, line manager or road side recovery. Also, the system must have a fast link to the police and all conversations are recorded so they can be used as evidence, if required.
