Sheffield City Council has successfully completed a procurement process for the provision of special event stewarding services, specifically for a one-day event set to occur in Sheffield in 2027. The contract, classified under public security services, follows a restricted procedure and was initiated through a selective procurement method. The tender concluded on 22nd April 2026, with the contract period spanning from 1st June 2026 to 31st August 2027. The procurement process, tagged as awarding on 3rd June 2026, saw Sierra1 Sierra Security Ltd being chosen as the supplier.
