## Summary

Somerset Council is embarking on a pre-market engagement for Lone Worker Devices, classified under the Alarm-monitoring services industry category. The procurement process, currently in the planning stage, aims to gather market insights and indicative pricing for their upcoming tender. The existing contract encompasses 1,173 total units, including physical devices and mobile applications, which is set to expire without further extension due to procurement regulations. Interested parties are invited to participate through the ProActis supplier network. This pre-market engagement exercise is located in the Taunton area (UKK23 region) and anticipates a future notice date of 6 January 2025.

This tender poses significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in alarm-monitoring services, particularly those experienced with providing physical and app-based lone worker devices. SMEs and larger firms alike could benefit by demonstrating their capabilities in delivering and supporting such technologies, as well as their competitiveness in pricing. Furthermore, companies focusing on innovation in security and monitoring solutions could find an excellent fit in this procurement process. As Somerset Council is a regional authority, successful engagement may also pave the way for further collaboration and subsequent contracts, potentially including optional extensions.

## Notice

The Council has a total contract for 1148 devices/applications which was extended in August 2023 for a period of two years. This contract can no longer be extended due to procurement rules. The Council has a contract for 1091 physical devices and 57 apps for work issued mobile phones. Some additional units have been procured since the contract started taking the total volume of units to 1,173 (as at July 2024). The Council is conducting a pre-market engagement exercise to obtain further information from the market and indicative pricing.
