Tracking Tenders and Contracts

Tracking contracts cover GPS tracking devices and systems, vehicle and plant telematics, RFID and barcode asset tracking, and lone worker or personal safety trackers.

Stotles brings together tracking tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. Tracking is often one element of a fleet, telecare or lone worker contract, and NHS boards tender asset tracking systems on their own.

Tracking of people and staff is personal data under UK data protection law, lone worker services are often expected to meet BS 8484, and alarm receiving centres BS 8591. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar contracts at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

Councils and housing associations buy lone worker and telecare devices, NHS trusts buy RFID equipment tracking, police forces buy GPS tagging and asset tracking for armed response, and transport and fleet operators buy vehicle and plant telematics.

Most awarded contracts run two to four years, in line with the underlying hardware or framework call-off, with some device-only awards running to a single year.

Read digital and technology strategies, licence and contract renewal dates, architecture reviews and early market engagement notices, which show tracking work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.

Tracking notices carry 48422000 (Software package suites) for asset tracking software, and lone worker tracking applications carry 35121700 (Alarm systems) and 79711000 (Alarm-monitoring services).
