Call Alarm Upgrades (Analogue to Digital): Sheltered Schemes

Tender description

Red Kite Community Housing is preparing to upgrade the analogue-based emergency community call alarm systems across up to 27 sheltered housing schemes. This project forms part of a critical digital transformation programme in response to the UK-wide switchover from analogue to digital networks by January 2027 and addresses the growing challenges of maintaining outdated infrastructure. The current systems—comprising call points, lift alarms, fire panels, and door entry systems located in communal areas—are connected to an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) via analogue phone lines. These systems are essential for tenant safety and must be digitally enabled to ensure compliance and continuity.
