Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames procured security and man guarding services for delivery in England. The requirement is for security services; the available description does not set out specific sites, tasks or service levels. The buyer is the council, and the selected supplier is MPD FM Ltd. This is a service contract focused on providing security and guarding, rather than the purchase of goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to MPD FM Ltd on 7 July 2026. The award value is £882,296. The contract period runs from 17 August 2026 to 13 February 2028. The council used a restricted procedure, with bids due by 5 June 2026 at 12:00. No lots are identified. The published procurement information does not describe the evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements in detail. The recorded suitability assessment indicates that the opportunity was not suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award shows that the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames buys security and man guarding services at a substantial scale through a restricted procedure. A credible competitor for this buyer’s future requirement would need the operational capacity to provide reliable guarding services and to deliver a contract over an extended period. The selected supplier is recorded as a large business, while the procurement was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; this points to a requirement suited to an established provider rather than a small or community-based operator. Suppliers with relevant security-service delivery experience and the resources to meet the council’s service needs would be best placed to compete when a comparable requirement returns to market.
