New Zealand Police

Victim Safety Alarms

New Zealand Police are looking to implement updated approaches to protect victims of family harm and change offender behaviour.
Separation of victims and defendant is known to be a powerful tool for enhancing victim safety and is the basis of a number of mechanisms, such as Protection Orders, that are available to the Courts when dealing with cases of family harm.
This RFP is for the appointment of a single national supply partner that is able to provide:
1. A fixed alarm with a base unit and a pendant that can be discretely worn or carried by the victim that has:
• Connectivity – this might take the form of a cellular network and an extension antenna cable or booster to ensure cellular signal strength is maintained.
• Location tracking technologies – these might take the form of devices and systems that can be used to track the position of a person on the earth’s surface in real time, and
2. Monitoring Centre services – with operational capability able to triage and respond to victim in real time.
A detailed statement of our requirements is contained in Appendix 1- Specification of requirements

What we don’t want
Proposals that:
• restrict movement to within a base area
• do not cover the full range of requirements
• requires the establishment of a new business. Note: this RFP is not an opportunity for entry into the market for a new participant.
• seek a re-engineering/re-design of existing Police policies. For example, any requests for the re-design of Police financial and reconciliation processes
• are speculative in nature.
• are dependent on other Police procurement initiatives that are pending or are in progress
