Summary of the contracting process

The City of London Corporation has completed a selective procurement process to award a contract for park patrol services within London. The procurement, which falls under the security services category (CPV code: 79710000), involved a direct award to Parkguard Ltd via the London Borough of Ealing Park Patrol Services Framework. The contract, valued at £446,652, commenced on 12th December 2024 and will run until 30th June 2027. Key dates include the end of the tender period on 11th December 2024 and the official contract signing on 7th January 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in security services, particularly those experienced in park patrol operations. The framework approach indicates a preference for suppliers with proven capabilities, and the selective procurement method illustrates an emphasis on quality and reliable service provision. While large-scale companies like Parkguard Ltd were successful in this instance, the suitability criteria suggest that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) also have viable opportunities to compete for similar contracts within this framework in the future.
