## Summary

East Renfrewshire Council procured a fully managed lone-worker monitoring service to protect council employees undertaking jobs or tasks involving an element of risk. The service includes Identicom devices, or equivalent equipment, together with chargers and alarm monitoring arrangements. Delivery is for East Renfrewshire. The requirement covers personal-safety monitoring rather than general security provision, with devices intended to support workers who operate alone or in potentially hazardous circumstances. The council is the public-sector buyer. The service falls within the category of alarm-monitoring and lone-worker protection services, classified under CPV 79711000. Suppliers would need to provide an integrated service covering the equipment, monitoring centre and associated operational support, rather than devices alone.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to SoloProtect Limited. It used a limited procedure without a prior published competition, through a direct bid via the CCS G-Cloud 14 framework. There was one bid, submitted electronically by an SME. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and is active, with an awarded contract value of £160,000. The single requirement was evaluated as one lot. The specification required British Standard or CE-marked devices and chargers, and an Alarm Receiving Centre and device service audited and fully certified to BS 8484, BS 8591:2014, BS EN 50518 and ISO 9001. The procurement was covered by the GPA and treated as outside the relevant directive’s scope.

This award identifies a focused market for suppliers able to deliver managed lone-worker protection to a local authority, combining personal-safety devices with continuous alarm monitoring and operational response. A credible competitor would need proven experience supporting employees who work alone or face task-related risks, and the capacity to manage both equipment and monitoring-centre operations as one dependable service. Technical compliance is central: devices and chargers need British Standard or CE marking, while the Alarm Receiving Centre and device service need audited certification against BS 8484, BS 8591:2014, BS EN 50518 and ISO 9001. The single SME bid also indicates that a specialist smaller supplier can satisfy this type of council requirement. Experience supplying through CCS G-Cloud would support the procurement route used here.
