Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Holy Cross Sixth Form College procured a single supplier for security staffing and associated security services. The requirement is a services contract covering the college’s security needs, with delivery at the college on Manchester Road, Bury, England. The procurement is classified as security services (CPV 79710000). The buyer is Holy Cross Sixth Form College, a sixth-form education provider. The published scope is focused on providing security personnel and related services rather than supplying security equipment or construction works. This is therefore relevant to security companies able to provide staffed guarding or similar operational support for an education setting, and to firms that can manage the associated service requirements through one supplier arrangement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Bids were due by 4 June 2026 at 1pm. The estimated procurement value was £358,025. The contract was awarded to Constant Security Service on 11 August 2026 for £265,777.83. The awarded contract period runs from 6 October 2026 to 5 October 2029. Holy Cross Sixth Form College selected one supplier for the requirement. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The outcome provides a clear benchmark for the buyer’s spend on a multi-year security staffing and associated services arrangement, with the awarded value lower than the original estimate.

This award is commercially relevant to security service providers that can supply trained, reliable personnel and manage a complete staffed security service for a sixth-form college. A credible competitor would need operational capacity to provide continuous service across a multi-year arrangement, maintain suitable staff coverage, handle rota planning and supervision, and respond consistently to the practical needs of an education environment. Firms with experience protecting schools, colleges or other occupied public buildings would be well placed to demonstrate relevant delivery capability. The procurement was expressly suitable for SMEs, indicating that a focused regional security business may be capable of competing if it can evidence dependable performance, management controls and the ability to act as the single accountable supplier.
