Summary of the contracting process

Bedford Borough Council has completed the procurement process for event security services for the Bedford Kite and Motoring Festival, held on June 21st and 22nd, 2025. The procurement process, concluded on February 17th, 2025, falls under the industry category of event services (CPV: 79952000). The awarded contract has a value of £6,100 and was granted to Chase Services Group. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure with key dates including the tender period ending on January 31st, 2025, and the contract period running from June 19th, 2025, to June 23rd, 2025. The services are required at multiple locations, including the UK, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and other global locations.

This tender represents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in event security services to demonstrate capability and expand their portfolio. Small to medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community, and social enterprises were deemed not suitable for this particular contract, suggesting that larger, more established security providers are best suited for similar future opportunities with Bedford Borough Council or similar events. Successful involvement in such contracts can enhance a company's reputation and lead to further lucrative opportunities in the public sector.
