## Summary

Kent County Council, located in Maidstone, England, has completed a procurement process for personal safety devices, titled "Personal Safety Devices" under the CPV classification for alarm-monitoring services. This initiative serves the Libraries, Registration and Archives service's needs, aiming to protect lone workers with wearable personal safety devices and around-the-clock monitoring. The procurement process reached the award stage on 9th June 2026, with the contract valued at £47,151.24 and set to run from 15th June 2026 to 14th June 2029. The procurement adopted a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and targeted the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This award presents a substantial opportunity for businesses in the technology and security sectors, particularly those specialising in personal safety and monitoring solutions. The engagement focuses on SMEs and VCSEs, offering an avenue for firms capable of delivering comprehensive solutions that include real-time location tracking, incident reporting, and emergency response services. Companies like Reliance High-Tech Limited, who have expertise in high-tech security solutions, are well-positioned to capitalise on such frameworks to expand their business within the public sector.

## Notice

The Libraries, Registration and Archives (LRA) service requires the continued provision of personal safety devices for lone workers, including library staff operating across multiple sites and environments. The requirement is for the provision of a fully managed lone worker protection solution, including the provision of wearable personal safety devices, supported by 24/7 monitoring and response services through the "Alarm Receiving Centre". The solution enables incident escalation, including contact with emergency services where required, and support real-time location tracking and incident reporting. Devices also support features such as fall detection, discreet alarm activation, and two-way communication.
