Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Home Office, which is seeking security and porterage services specifically for COVID-19 isolation accommodation. The contract was awarded to Main Event Security Services Ltd with a total value of £3,913,728. This engagement is classified under the security services sector (CPV code 79710000) and is set in the United Kingdom, particularly in London. The contract period runs from 12 March 2020 to 13 July 2020, following an emergency procurement procedure due to the urgent public health situation. The procurement method employed is a direct award under Regulation 32(2)(c) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in security services, particularly those with a focus on emergency and public health contexts. Businesses well-suited to compete include those offering rapid response security solutions and logistical support services, as the urgency of the contract may favour entities capable of mobilising quickly and effectively. This environment allows SMEs to potentially expand their contract portfolios and establish long-term relationships with government bodies like the Home Office.
