## Summary

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is currently involved in the procurement process for a contract titled "Staff Security & Attack Alarms," aimed at providing alarm-monitoring services under the category of services. This procurement stage has reached completion, with the contract being awarded on November 30, 2021, for an initial period of four years, with the possibility of a one-year extension. The contract value is £120,449.91 and is justified by the need to maintain an existing, integrated safety system rather than disrupt services affecting staff and patients at multiple hospital campuses in Glasgow.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in alarm-monitoring and related security services, particularly those that can deliver integrated safety solutions without causing disruption. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in similar systems, especially those familiar with working in hospital environments, will find this tender suitable for competitive bidding. The successful supplier, King Communications and Security Ltd, highlights the potential for collaborations in future contracts, as the continued maintenance and updates to such systems are crucial for the health sector.

## Notice

As part of an updated security strategy, NHSGGC installed a future-proof solution for their Staff Attack systems. King Communications & Security Ltd provided an integrated Guardian Staff Safety System across a number of Hospital campus' including Leverndale and Dykebar which utilised existing network infrastructures. Consequently, the staff safety/attack alarm system is a service which is already in place and is a closed protocol system. To change this system would cause a significant amount of disruption to NHSGGC Staff and Patients. Therefore the best course of action to ensure compliance with procurement regulations, and ensure the continued maintenance of these systems, would be publishing a voluntary ex ante transparency (VEAT) notice on PCS.
