Summary of the contracting process

Halton Borough Council is seeking to secure a contract for the provision of security services, including specific guard duties, key holding, alarm activation call outs, static guarding, mobile patrol guarding, dog handler guarding, and various attendant duties within the borough of Halton. The procurement process is in the award stage, with Chase Services Group Ltd being the successful supplier. The contract, valued at £2,745,393 GBP and initially signed on 27th February 2025, reflects the authority's need for comprehensive security solutions across various departments within the council. The open procedure procurement method was utilised, attracting 29 bids, with Halton Borough Council based in Widnes, UK, as the contracting authority.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in security services. The comprehensive range of services required, from static and mobile guarding to dog handler and match day stewarding, indicates robust demand for diverse security solutions. The contract's value and scope suggest ample opportunities for businesses with expertise in handling large and varied security operations. Given the estimated contract value of £2,000,000 GBP, the potential for a 12-month extension, and the varied nature of the security requirements, security firms, especially those capable of handling multiple facets of security provision, would find this tender well-suited to their capabilities and growth ambitions.
