UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was conducted by The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London for security services at Parliament Hill Lido. The contract, which falls under the industry category of security services, involves the provision of two security operatives from 10am to 7pm, four days a week. The services were directly procured from Parkguard Ltd, a small to medium enterprise located in Hertfordshire, without competition, as it was below the threshold for competitive tendering. The contract is already in the award stage and became active on 23rd May 2025, with an end date set for 14th September 2025. The total contract value is £45,770.40.

This tender offers opportunities for businesses specialising in security services to understand the procurement trends of sub-central government authorities and potentially grow through similar future contracts. Companies with expertise in supplementary security services, particularly those structured as small to medium enterprises, may find similar contracts advantageous. The nature of this direct procurement hints at the potential for partnerships or sub-contractual opportunities with established providers like Parkguard Ltd. Such contracts could serve as a stepping stone for expanding business operations in public sector projects.
