Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council has initiated a competitive procurement process for security services titled "TD2330 - Security Services," aimed at providing comprehensive protection for council properties and assets, including potential extensions influenced by Local Government Reorganisation (LGR). This tender, currently in its invitation stage, involves a two-stage Competitive Flexible Procedure, concluding with final tenders by suppliers for pricing, quality, and social value methodologies. Suppliers must express interest by 12:00 on the 6th of April 2026, and the deadline for submission is 12:00 on the 7th of April 2026, with related documents accessible via the East Midlands Tenders platform.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in security operations, particularly those capable of flexible scaling. The competitive procedure favours suppliers with strong economic, financial standing, and technical skills, suitable for SMEs. The contract's core value could escalate from £8,080,092.54 to £10,504,120.29, potentially accommodating increased service demands due to LGR effects over its maximum five-year duration. With no sub-contracting except for CCTV installations and removals, businesses capable of direct employment of security staff and maintaining local operational offices stand to benefit greatly from this opportunity.

Notice Title

TD2330 - Security Services

Notice Description

Contract for the Provision of Security Services. The successful Supplier awarded the Contract will be responsible for providing the service for Derby City Council and Derby Homes. The service will deliver a comprehensive security provision that identifies and mitigates all potential risks, ensuring the protection of people, property, and assets while safeguarding the interests of the Council. It will adopt a proactive, customer-focused approach, with security staff treating customers, visitors, and colleagues with dignity and respect at all times. The contract will provide a cost-effective, value-for-money solution that fully meets the Council's operational and financial requirements. All security staff will be directly employed by the service provider, with no sub-contracting permitted other than for the installation and removal of CCTV. In addition, the contractor will maintain a operational office to ensure effective management, responsiveness, and continuity of service. The procurement will be run under the Competitive Flexible Procedure. This will consist of two (2) stages: Stage 1 - Invitation to Participate This will be the PSQ stage that suppliers complete to be set up on the Central Digital Platform such as their economic and financial standing and their technical/ professional ability. The Council will also ask scored and weighted questions to arrive at a shortlist of a maximum of the five highest scoring suppliers to take to Stage 2. Stage 2 - Invitation to Submit Final Tenders Suppliers successful from Stage 1 will be invited to submit their tenders which will consist of their pricing, quality and social value methodologies. Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) is underway in several areas across the country and may result in changes to council structures, service delivery and responsibilities, and geographical coverage during the life of the contract. For this contract it is anticipated that the effects of LGR may lead to an increased service demand or the need to extend provision to new areas or client groups. For further details please visit the government website: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/local-government-reorganisation-policy-and-programme-updates The core value is PS8,080,092.54 (Excluding VAT) based on current known service requirements. Due to the potential impact of the Local Government Reorganisation this value may rise from Year 3. Therefore, the total contract value may rise to PS10,504,120.29 (Excluding VAT) PS12,604,944.36 (Including VAT). These figures are estimations and due to only being in the early stages of the process the Council cannot give any commitment on these figures but would like to build scope into the Contract should the need arise. If Suppliers are successful and invited to Stage 2, they will be required to demonstrate how the additional requirements could be accommodated and to provide indicative pricing for potential future increases in provision. This information will not be scored but will be used to inform forward planning and ensure the Contract remains scalable and flexible. Further details are in the tender pack on https://www.eastmidstenders.org/ Please note suppliers wishing to express interest and obtain the documentation must do so by 12:00 on Monday 6th April 2026.

Therefore, the total contract value may rise to PS10,504,120.29 (Excluding VAT) PS12,604,944.36 (Including VAT). These figures are estimations and due to only being in the early stages of the process the Council cannot give any commitment on these figures but would like to build scope into the Contract should the need arise. Additional Sites may be added as part of the ever changing council portfolio of sites. Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) is underway in several areas across the country and may result in changes to council structures, service delivery and responsibilities, and geographical coverage during the life of the contract. For this contract it is anticipated that the effects of LGR may lead to an increased service demand or the need to extend provision to new areas or client groups.
