What is being bought

The Pinpoint System is a multifaceted security system which uses Personal Infrared Transmitters (PITs) allowing staff to easily and discreetly activate calls for Assistance and Emergency. The PIT is a discrete small fob that staff can have in their pockets; on lanyards attached to their staff badges. When a call is activated, Alphanumeric Display Units emit an alarm tone and pinpoint the exact location and type of call. This information can also be relayed to a range of devices such as pagers; mobiles and PC's ensuring response staff can identify both the type and source of call quickly. Intelligent infrared capabilities mean that the Pinpoint System takes less than 85 milliseconds from activation to display. Currently Pinpoint Systems are used at Gartnavel Royal Hospital and Stobhill Hospital at the Kelvin, Clyde, Iona and Tate Wards and at Skye House and Eriskay House Respectively. This is a closed protocol system and is one that has been in place for a number of years. Consequently, the staff security alarm system is a service which is already in place and is a closed protocol system. To change this system would cause a significant amount of disruption to NHSGGC Staff and Patients. Therefore the best course of action to insure compliance with procurement regulations, and ensure the continued maintenance of these systems, is to publish a voluntary ex ante transparency (VEAT) notice.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Alarm-monitoring services (79711000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 7913,7404 median · 30.9 average (5,803 of 13,740 with a bid count)3.2 average (6,507 of 13,740 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs
Same buyer191 median · 4.6 average (12 of 19 with a bid count)1.4 average (12 of 19 with named award suppliers)Not published
Delivery region: UKM822223 median · 9 average (131 of 222 with a bid count)2.8 average (140 of 222 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

Procurement strategy & market signals

Framework agreementNot published
Dynamic purchasing systemNot published
Competitive procurementNot published
Recurring requirementNot published
Procurement method rationaleThis is a service which is currently in place and is provided by Pinpoint Systems. Conducting a full tender procedure would be a significant project that NHSGGC would have to undertake and at this current juncture is not something that would be possible. Additionally implementing a new system would involve a considerable amount of building works; resulting in significant disruption for Staff/Patients and Services
Rationale classificationsThe works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons

        "description": "The Pinpoint System is a multifaceted security system which uses Personal Infrared Transmitters (PITs) allowing staff to easily and discreetly activate calls for Assistance and Emergency. The PIT is a discrete small fob that staff can have in their pockets; on lanyards attached to their staff badges.  When a call is activated, Alphanumeric Display Units emit an alarm tone and pinpoint the exact location and type of call. This information can also be relayed to a range of devices such as pagers; mobiles and PC's ensuring response staff can identify both the type and source of call quickly. Intelligent infrared capabilities mean that the Pinpoint System takes less than 85 milliseconds from activation to display.\nCurrently Pinpoint Systems are used at Gartnavel Royal Hospital and Stobhill Hospital at the Kelvin, Clyde, Iona and Tate Wards and at Skye House and Eriskay House Respectively. This is a closed protocol system and is one that has been in place for a number of years.\nConsequently, the staff security alarm system is a service which is already in place and is a closed protocol system. To change this system would cause a significant amount of disruption to NHSGGC Staff and Patients. Therefore the best course of action to insure compliance with procurement regulations, and ensure the continued maintenance of these systems, is to publish a voluntary ex ante transparency (VEAT) notice."

Conducting a full tender procedure would be a significant project that NHSGGC would have to undertake and at this current juncture  is not something that would be possible. Additionally implementing a new system would involve a considerable amount of building works; resulting in significant disruption for Staff/Patients and Services\nNHSGGC will publish a voluntary ex ante transparency (VEAT) notice on PCS.  In accordance with: ‘The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, SSI 2015/446 1 91(7)(a)’.\nAdditionally and in line with the practices of: Fairness; Openness and Transparency; the publication of this VEAT Notice will be for a period of ten days.\nA VEAT is the best legal procurement route to take because the disruption as a result of installing a new system would be significant and would have wide reaching consequences impacting: Staff; Patients and Services.\nThe contract will be for an initial 4 year period with the option to extend for a further 1x12 months.",
