Digital Switch - Prior Information Notice

LiveWest Homes Limited has initiated a public procurement process titled "Digital Switch - Prior Information Notice" under the planning stage, focused on works related to complete or part construction and civil engineering. Located in Exeter, South West England (UKK), this project addresses the transition of telecoms infrastructure from analogue to digital by January 2027, affecting telecare alarm systems, smoke alarms, and door entry systems within their properties and offices. The estimated value of the procurement is £5,000,000 GBP, with lots focused on the supply and installation of various components.

LiveWest plans to issue this tender in early March 2025 via a closed tender process under the Procurement Act 2023. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in construction, telecommunications, and maintenance services, particularly those specialising in alarm systems, telecare, and digital infrastructure upgrades. Companies capable of handling large-scale installations and upgrades of safety and communication systems will find this project especially relevant.

By participating in this procurement, businesses can not only expand their portfolio but also position themselves as key providers in the critical infrastructure upgrade within the housing sector. The opportunity for multiple contract lots allows for flexibility, permitting firms to bid on one or more specialised areas, enhancing their chances of securing work and fostering long-term business growth.
