## Summary

Procurement for Housing (PfH) is engaged in the planning stage of a public procurement process for a Lone Worker solutions framework, aimed at enhancing safety and support services. Situated in Birchwood, Warrington, PfH is a prominent procurement consortium serving the social housing sector across the United Kingdom. As a public authority under the Procurement Act 2023, the organisation is currently conducting preliminary market engagement to gather insights that will inform the final framework tender. Businesses interested in participating should provide feedback by 24th July 2026. The procurement is categorised under services, covering a wide range of industry classifications, including telecommunications services, health and safety consultancy, and surveillance systems, with the framework's contract period planned from 15th February 2027 to 14th February 2031. A future notice is expected to be published by 28th September 2026.

This procurement process offers substantial opportunities for business growth, especially for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can provide services such as alarm systems, telecommunications, or health and safety consultancy. The overarching value of the procurement is anticipated to reach a gross amount of £9,000,000, making it an attractive opportunity for businesses looking to expand their footprint in the public sector. Companies specialised in providing integrated safety solutions through cutting-edge technology and consultancy services will find this framework particularly suitable, allowing them to leverage their expertise in improving safety protocols within the social housing sector.
