Decision Maker: Joint Assistant Director: Regulatory Services

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

To extend the existing staff lone worker personal safety device contract for 12 months (+ optional further 12 months). The annual contract value is £10K.

Reasons for the decision:

The existing contract and service agreement has expired. A further 12 month extension is required to ensure continuity of service and ongoing protection of staff who rely on personal safety devices to protect their health and safety in lone worker situations.

Alternative options considered:

MUST be completed / actions explained. If there are no alternative options, state 'None'

There are no alternative options as we need to ensure continuity of protection for staff who have been issued with these existing personal safety devices pending a future joint procurement exercise for personal safety devices across Guildford and Waverley Councils.
