Community Alarms and Mobile Response Service

The Borough Council of Calderdale is planning a procurement process for a "Community Alarms and Mobile Response Service," aimed at enhancing health and social work services. This open procedure relates to the installation of community alarms and mobile response services for adults aged 18 years and above, which includes installing assistive technologies and detectors across Calderdale. Classified under the "services" category, it is part of a special "light-touch" regime and exceeds the procurement threshold, with an estimated value of £5,000,000.

The process is currently at the planning stage, with related activities having commenced on 23rd May 2025. The proposed contract period is from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2031, targeting a geographic location that includes Halifax in the United Kingdom. This tender represents an excellent opportunity for businesses operating in the health and social services sector, particularly those experienced in delivering community support and technological installations to vulnerable groups.

Companies that align with industry standards and adopt a person-centred service delivery approach would be well-suited. Additionally, suppliers interested in engaging with the voluntary, community, and social enterprise sectors could find this to be an attractive contract, as the procurement explicitly encourages VCSE participation. The impending notice date is set for 31st July 2025, providing ample preparation time for interested parties to position themselves strategically for bidding.
