## Summary

Portsmouth City Council, a sub-central government public authority located in Portsmouth, United Kingdom, is managing a procurement process for the replacement and upgrade of the analogue residential Warden and Telecare Call systems at Arthur Dann Court. This is part of an initiative to ensure effective communication systems in sheltered housing schemes due to the national phasing out of analogue telephone services by 2027. The project title is "3553 - Warden Call (Arthur Dann Court)", focusing on building construction work within the region UKJ31. The procurement process is marked as complete, with the contract having been awarded to Legrand Electric Limited, a large-scale supplier based in Birmingham. Key dates include the contract period from 3rd August 2026 to 25th December 2026, following a procurement method described as "Below threshold - unknown".

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in building and electrical services, as it focuses on the installation of new digital systems across various sheltered blocks, facilitating the replacement of cable runs and installation of effective communication units. Companies that specialise in digital communication systems, telecare, or care technologies would be well-suited to compete, particularly those experienced in handling public sector contracts. By being involved in such a high-impact project, businesses can leverage this opportunity to expand their expertise and footprint in the public sector market, establishing themselves as key players in supporting vital community infrastructure upgrades.

## Notice

This project comprises of the replacement of existing analogue residential Warden and Telecare Call systems with new digital systems. The initial project will be a pilot scheme at Arthur Dann Court, to verify the operation of the chosen system and identify any issues before awarding the wider scheme of works. Based upon the award of the initial project and successful completion of these works, further upgrade works can then be awarded the following blocks, split over different phases: Phase 4 (Off Island Blocks): * The Beeches * Villa Gardens * Elsie Fudge House * Wakefield Court * Lyndhurst * St Clares Court * Tweed Court * Connors Keep In all blocks the existing warden call system will be replaced throughout the communal area as well as in each individual flat. Throughout each system the cable run will be replaced, and new containment installed. All existing Warden Call units will be replaced and an additional intercom unit point will be installed in each bedroom to provide a more efficient system. The analogue telephone services are being turned off nationwide in 2027, however, Portsmouth City Council have been permitted to keep the telephone lines which the current warden call systems rely upon in use until 2030. This is to allow for the Warden Call upgrades to be completed. Despite this extension, some Sheltered Blocks have had the phone lines disconnected which has resulted in no operational Warden Call System temporarily whilst BT reconnected the line. The current system installed is experiencing faults due to its age which is causing disruption/ loss of service to the Warden Call System, putting residents at risk. A robust and reliable new system is therefore required to ensure the Sheltered Scheme Blocks can continue to provide a high level of standard for vulnerable residents who need to utilise the Warden Call System.
