National Framework for The Provision And Monitoring Of Temporary Alarms

The requirement is for a complete service in respect of temporary alarm systems, for the protection of vulnerable witnesses. The alarms are to be installed as a short term measure for recent victims of crime, premises that have been identified as having a temporary high risk, victims of domestic violence, in witness protection programs, and other circumstances as requested. The alarms are primarily to be wire-free (but in rare cases may need to be hardwired).

The Framework is being established for a 2 year period, with the option to extend up to a further 2 years, on an annual basis.

The Authority is conducting this procurement exercise with the intention that this framework agreement will be open for use by all police forces in the UK.
