## Summary

Watford Borough Council procured personal safety devices, specifically the supply and support of lone worker devices for its lone-worker safety requirements. The procurement is for goods and is classified as safety equipment (CPV 35113000). Delivery is associated with Watford Borough Council in Watford, within the East of England, United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Watford Borough Council. The requirement combines provision of the devices with ongoing support, so relevant businesses are suppliers able to provide personal safety technology and maintain the associated support service for council operations. The awarded supplier is based in Sheffield, while the service requirement is for the council in Watford.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a tender process using the stated method ‘Other’. The contract was awarded to Soloprotect Limited on 1 July 2026. The awarded value is £35,000 GBP. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029, for 36 months. The tender had a submission deadline of 1 July 2026. The requirement was treated as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Evaluation details recorded for the procurement identify the purchase as safety equipment; the available procurement information does not set out a separate quality, price or technical weighting. Soloprotect Limited is the selected supplier.

This award demonstrates a defined council requirement for lone worker devices together with supply and support over a multi-year service period. It is relevant to businesses that provide personal safety devices, lone-worker protection technology, device management or related operational support. A credible future supplier would need to show that it can supply dependable equipment at council scale and sustain support throughout the service lifecycle, rather than only deliver a one-off hardware order. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable for the requirement, indicating that the opportunity is accessible to suppliers of that scale. Businesses monitoring this buyer should focus on proven capability in lone-worker safety equipment and the practical support needed by staff using it.
