This tender falls under the services industry category, specifically targeting security services and equipment, as classified by CPV codes 79710000 and 35000000. The procurement was necessitated as an extension to an existing service to ensure the uninterrupted operation of bus stations while a broader procurement exercise is finalised. The contract period is set from 23 May to 29 October 2025, with a scheduled future signature date of 22 May 2025. The supplier for this contract is Showsec International Limited, located in Leicester, and the gross value of the award is £30,000.
