Summary of the contracting process

Luton Sixth Form College procured security staffing and associated security services, classified under CPV 79710000. The requirement is intended to support a multi-supplier framework available to CPC member further education institutions, universities, sixth forms, academies, schools, museums and similar organisations, as well as eligible higher education consortia, local authorities procuring for educational establishments and the wider public sector. The named buyer is Luton Sixth Form College, based on Bradgers Hill Road in Luton. Delivery can cover the United Kingdom and a wide range of locations including Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is a service opportunity for security staffing companies able to provide personnel and related services across these settings and geographic areas.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. The tender’s estimated value was £400,000, while the active award to AEGIS GROUP OF COMPANIES LIMITED is valued at £749,506.92. The award date was 28 July 2026. The awarded contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The arrangement was intended to be a framework agreement with multiple suppliers, although one supplier is recorded as awarded here. The procurement was open to small and medium-sized enterprises, and the evaluation basis recorded is the open competition process. The submission deadline was 2 July 2026 at 1pm. The contract covers security staffing and associated services for the stated education, public-sector and related-user base.

This award demonstrates an established requirement for outsourced security staffing and associated services from an education-sector buyer, with potential use across a broad public-sector customer base and geographically dispersed sites. A credible future competitor would need to supply trained security personnel reliably, manage staffing across education and public-sector environments, and support the operational and administrative demands of a multi-supplier framework. The ability to serve locations throughout the United Kingdom, and potentially overseas territories and other listed areas, would be relevant. SMEs were considered suitable, so smaller security providers may be well placed where they can demonstrate dependable workforce capacity, effective mobilisation, consistent service management and the ability to work within framework arrangements. Experience supporting schools, colleges, universities, museums or similar organisations would strengthen a future response.
