Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has conducted a procurement process for "PAN3154 - Premises Security Services," which falls under the industry category of security services. The contract was intended to enhance security across Leicester City Council's estate with services including keyholding, mobile patrols, and manned guarding. Although the tender, utilising an open procurement method, progressed to the award stage, it was ultimately abandoned due to price lapse. The procurement stage reached completion status, and the contract would have spanned from 1st March 2025 to 28th February 2027, located in the East Midlands, United Kingdom, with potential extensions up to five years in total.

This procurement presented significant growth potential for businesses in the security services sector, particularly SMEs and VCSEs, as indicated by its suitability criteria. Engaging in such public contracts could enhance the visibility and credibility of service providers and foster long-term partnerships with public entities such as Leicester City Council. Businesses specialising in comprehensive security solutions and seasoned in handling large-scale operations would have been well-positioned to compete for this contract, despite the tender being abandoned at the award stage. Nevertheless, similar opportunities may arise, enabling businesses to leverage their expertise in public sector security services.
