Summary of the contracting process

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is currently inviting tenders for the provision of Security Guarding Services, divided into two separate lots: Core Security Guarding Services and Mobile Keyholding Services. This procurement covers the entire UK, and it falls under the Security services industry category. The tender process is at the active stage, with a submission deadline for proposals set for 29th August 2024. The contracts for each lot are anticipated to commence immediately upon awarding and will have an initial term of five years, with a potential extension of up to three additional years, totalling a maximum contract duration of eight years. The estimated total contract value ranges from £140,000,000 to £150,000,000 over the eight years.

This substantial tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in security services. Companies capable of providing comprehensive security solutions—including personnel, control room operations, mobile patrols, and keyholding services—will find this tender particularly advantageous. The selective procurement method, through a competitive procedure with negotiation, ensures that well-qualified suppliers have the chance to secure long-term, high-value contracts with a reputable organisation like the BBC. Smaller businesses with niche expertise in security services, as well as larger firms offering broad security operations, are both encouraged to participate, provided they meet the stringent selection criteria outlined in the PQQ documentation.
