After an internal review, the council decided to cancel the tender process initially aimed at enhancing staff protection and ensuring compliance with health and safety across various service sectors. Despite the planning stage and subsequent tender updates, the procurement status was officially closed on 12 May 2026. Located in Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK, this public authority initially sought suppliers through an open procurement method but opted for termination to realign the project with organisational priorities and value for money. This tender initially provided significant opportunities for businesses specialising in safety equipment, telecommunications, and health and safety services, especially those catering to SMEs and VCSEs. With the possibility of a contract period extending from 2026 to 2028, including renewal options, there was considerable scope for growth for suppliers in the industry categories of electrical equipment, surveillance systems, and telecommunications services. Although the tender has been terminated, businesses should stay alert for similar opportunities from Newcastle City Council, as future tenders are likely to emerge following the reassessment of project requirements and methodologies. ## Notice Newcastle City Council is seeking to procure a comprehensive Lone Worker Monitoring and Alarm Solution to support our commitment to staff protection and compliance with health and safety requirements across multiple service areas within the Council.
