Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council has awarded a contract for security services for the Council and Derby Homes. The service covers protecting people, property and assets through a comprehensive, proactive and customer-focused security operation, with staff expected to treat customers, visitors and colleagues with dignity and respect. The provider must employ all security staff directly and maintain an operational office to support management, responsiveness and continuity. Subcontracting is prohibited except for CCTV installation and removal. Work is delivered in Derby. The requirement is classified as security services (CPV 79710000). The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been signed. NVC Security Ltd was selected following an open procedure; the award was made on 16 July 2026 and the contract signed on 18 September 2026. The awarded value is £10,504,120.59 excluding VAT (£12,604,944.36 including VAT). The contract runs from 31 October 2026 to 31 October 2028, with three optional 12-month extensions, allowing a maximum term to 31 October 2031. There was one lot. Evaluation weighted price at 50%, quality at 40% and social value at 10%. The process received 38 bids, with seven reaching the final stage. The contract allows for potential expansion in response to local government reorganisation and changing service needs; the awarded value reflects that potential scope.

This award demonstrates demand from Derby City Council and Derby Homes for an integrated security service that can protect people, property and assets while maintaining a respectful, customer-focused presence. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the operational capacity to provide directly employed security staff, manage delivery through an operational office, and sustain responsive cover across the Council’s sites. The service model must accommodate changes in sites, service demand or geographical coverage, while controlling costs and maintaining reliable emergency and alarm response. The buyer also evaluates quality and social value alongside price, so suppliers should be equipped to evidence service performance, equality standards and social value progress, as well as accurate invoicing and cost control. The stated restriction on subcontracting means delivery capability should sit with the main provider, apart from CCTV installation and removal.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Options: There is a maximum core budget for the full duration of the contract (including optional extensions): * PS8,080,092.54 (Excluding VAT) * PS9,696,111.05 (Including VAT) 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. 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. For further details please visit the government website: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/local-government-reorganisation-policy-and-programme-updates

Renewal: There will be an option to extend the contract for three (3) years in annual increments, subject to satisfactory performance and business needs. Maximum contract period is five (5) years.
