Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process involves Simply Serve Ltd as the buying organisation, procuring security guarding services for Yeovil District Hospital. The procurement falls under the public security services industry category, located in the United Kingdom's South West region (UKK). This contract has been completed, with the security services scheduled to be provided 24 hours a day throughout the year, ensuring the hospital environment remains secure and responsive to incidents. The procurement used the direct award method due to the necessity of uninterrupted services, with the contract period stretching from 1st June 2025 to 31st March 2026, and a total gross contract value of GBP 321,312.56. Key decisions included the renewal with the incumbent supplier to allow time for an options appraisal and potential future competitive tendering.

Large-scale security service providers, such as OCS Group UK Limited, the incumbent supplier, are well-suited to compete for such contracts due to their capability and experience in managing complex and critical service delivery.
