Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool City Council procured security services for vacant properties and sites. The requirement is to secure void properties and sites across North West England. This is a property-security contract, rather than a general council security requirement, and is relevant to firms able to protect unoccupied buildings and sites. The council is the buyer and the contract was awarded to Orbis Protect. The procurement is categorised as a service, specifically security services (CPV 79710000).

The procurement is complete and was run as an open procedure. The council selected Orbis Protect, with an award date of 4 September 2026. The awarded value is £298,000. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. The tender deadline was 3 August 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was presented as one overall contract, with no separate lot awards. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and not suitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published evaluation basis and specific eligibility requirements are not stated in the available process information.

For security providers, this award demonstrates Liverpool City Council’s demand for security at vacant properties and sites in North West England. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to show that it can secure unoccupied premises and sites reliably, with operational capacity to cover the council’s portfolio and respond to site-level security needs. The award went to Orbis Protect, a large supplier, indicating that a substantial security provider was selected; however, the procurement was also identified as suitable for SMEs. Firms serving public-sector property portfolios, with relevant void-property security experience and the capacity to deliver a council-wide service, are the closest fit. The opportunity is specifically about protecting void properties and sites, not general guarding or unrelated security services.
