SLaM Patient GPS Tracking Services

South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust ("SLaM", "the Authority") required the provision of Patient GPS tracking services for River House Medium Secure Unit, Chaffinch Low Secure Unit and Ward in the Community at the Lambeth Site.

Patients subject to a restriction order, who typically wouldn't be granted leave by the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) early in their recovery, can now access leave through the use of a GPS patient tracking Smart Tag. The current Smart Tag uses 3G network and additional indoor tracking including Wi-Fi.

The Authority sought to upgrade the service from a

3rd generation 3G Smart Tag to a wearable 4G GPS Smart Tag with software that has the ability to monitor

the exact location of patients on leave 24/7.

Following a Direct Award process via the CCS G-Cloud 13 Framework Agreement (RM1557.13) under Lot 2 - Cloud Software, the three (3) year contract was awarded to Buddi Limited.
