## Summary

East Sussex County Council procured the replacement of the DECT telephone system at Lansdowne Secure Unit in East Sussex. The requirement is classified as works, with the associated classification describing construction work. The buyer is East Sussex County Council, based in Lewes, and the work concerns the council’s secure unit rather than a general county-wide telephone service. This is a specialist communications-infrastructure replacement in a secure public-sector setting. Businesses involved in DECT, telephony or related installation works would find the requirement relevant, particularly where they serve public authorities or secure facilities. The procurement covers one requirement and was delivered for the council’s Lansdowne Secure Unit.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 18 September 2026 and awarded to Alarm Radio Monitoring Limited, a Leominster-based SME. The contract value is £212,785.20 excluding VAT, or £255,342.24 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 1 December 2026. The requirement was handled as one completed lot. The published data identifies the procurement method and its below-threshold limited-competition route, but does not set out separate award weightings or a detailed evaluation formula. The award remains active, as does the contract.

This award is useful market evidence for suppliers that provide DECT telephone systems, radio or alarm monitoring, communications infrastructure, and associated installation works. A credible future competitor would need to understand the practical replacement of a DECT system in a secure-unit environment and be able to deliver works within a short, defined implementation period. Relevant capability may include integrating replacement telephony with an existing site, coordinating installation with the operational requirements of a secure facility, and providing dependable equipment and technical support. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that this type of council requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national contractor.
