Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council is buying comprehensive security services for itself and Derby Homes, covering protection of people, property and assets and the identification and mitigation of security risks. The service includes guarding, patrols, surveillance, alarm monitoring, tracing and identification badge services. It is intended to be proactive and customer-focused, with staff treating customers, visitors and colleagues with dignity and respect. The provider must maintain an operational office to manage the service and support responsiveness and continuity. Delivery is in Derby, England. Security staff must be directly employed by the provider; subcontracting is restricted to CCTV installation and removal.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to NVC Security Ltd on 18 September 2026. The council used an open procedure. The tender deadline was 27 March 2026 at 12 noon. The estimated contract value was £10,504,120.59 to £12,604,944.36. The award records a value of £0, so no awarded monetary value is available to report. The contract period is 31 October 2026 to 31 October 2028. The requirement is presented as a single service package for Derby City Council and Derby Homes. The published data does not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility conditions.

This award shows demand from Derby City Council and Derby Homes for an integrated security service combining guarding, patrols, surveillance, alarm monitoring and related tracing and badge services. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the capacity to protect people, property and assets across the client organisations, identify and mitigate risks, and deliver a responsive, customer-focused service. The operating model requires directly employed security staff and an operational office able to provide effective management and continuity; subcontracting is limited to CCTV installation and removal. The buyer selected a supplier through an open procedure, and the procurement was treated as a substantial service package rather than a requirement identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.
