What is being bought
Caerphilly County Borough Council is conducting a pre market engagement exercise to gather information on current and emerging lone worker safety solutions. This RFI is intended to inform the Council’s understanding of available technologies and services in preparation for potential future procurement activity. The Council currently has a contract in place for lone worker safety solutions until 30 April 2026. The existing provision includes a combination of fob-style devices and mobile applications installed on employees’ smartphones. Approximately 150 employees across various departments—including Housing, Environmental Health, and Trading Standards—are currently using the system. The Council is seeking to: - Understand the range of lone worker safety solutions currently available in the market. - Explore innovative technologies that enhance lone worker protection. - Assess the scalability, integration capabilities, and user experience of available solutions. - Identify potential suppliers for future procurement opportunities.
