Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Government Commercial Agency procured security and stewarding services for the Patrick Finucane Inquiry. The work is classified as public security, law and order services (CPV 75240000). Services are to be delivered at Bradford Court, the buyer’s premises, and at the supplier’s premises where necessary. This is a services requirement rather than a supply or construction contract. The opportunity is relevant to security companies able to provide stewarding and site security in support of an inquiry, including businesses that can operate from or coordinate activity between their own premises and Bradford Court in the United Kingdom. The buyer is based in Liverpool, while the operational requirement is centred on Bradford Court.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a limited procedure using a competitive quotation below the threshold. Bids closed on 30 April 2026 at 4.00pm, and the contract was awarded on the same date. Eventsec was selected as supplier. The awarded value is £0 GBP. The contract period runs from 1 May 2026 to 30 December 2026. The published information identifies the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and the tender status is complete. The contracting process relates to one security and stewarding requirement; the available outcome information records a single supplier and does not identify separate lots or a scored evaluation basis.

This procurement is useful market evidence for SMEs providing security and stewarding services to public-sector inquiries. A credible future supplier would need to show that it can provide appropriately managed security and stewarding at a buyer’s premises, while also supporting activity from its own premises when required. The requirement indicates demand for a service provider able to coordinate personnel, maintain reliable operational coverage and work within the setting of a formal public inquiry. Suppliers competing for comparable work with the Government Commercial Agency should be able to demonstrate practical delivery of public security services and the capacity to manage a defined, time-limited assignment. The selected supplier’s SME status also shows that this scale of requirement can be delivered by an SME.
