Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Central Bedfordshire Council procured security services for Birch Court, with delivery associated with the council’s address in Shefford, Bedfordshire. The requirement is for security provision at the named site; no further duties or service specification are described. This is a service contract, rather than a purchase of equipment or building works.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to CYS Security Ltd. The award was made on 30 September 2026. The stated contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 4 October 2027. The recorded award value is £0, so it does not indicate the commercial price of the services. The quotation process required electronic submission through the council’s tendering system, with quotations due by midday on 15 September 2026; questions were due by midday on 9 September 2026. The procurement method is described only as “Other”. No lots, evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements are set out in the available process information.

The award shows that Central Bedfordshire Council buys security services for Birch Court and selected CYS Security Ltd for this requirement. A credible supplier competing for a comparable requirement from this buyer would need to demonstrate that it can provide security services suited to a named council site and deliver them reliably over a defined contract term. The procurement was run through a quotation process, so suppliers would also need to be able to prepare and submit a complete electronic quotation in the required format. The stated SME and voluntary-sector suitability indicators are both negative, so the opportunity was not identified as suitable for those supplier groups. No specific security qualifications, staffing levels, operating hours or technical capabilities are described, and no particular accreditation can be inferred from the award.
