Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process undertaken by Boston Borough Council, a sub-central government public authority, was to secure a contractor for providing security services at several events. The titled contract, "Security Services for Boston Events," covers the annual Christmas Market and May Fair, with future events potentially added during the contract term. The contract period starts on 17th November 2025 and is slated to run until 16th November 2028, with an option for a one-year extension. The procurement was executed through an open competition method, detailed under UK legislation 2023/54. With a gross contract value of £90,000, this award process is complete and is significant for its extensive regional engagement across various UK locations, including but not limited to UKC, UKD, and UKF. Public Sector Partnership Services Ltd facilitated the procurement process, while Marvellous Security Services Limited was awarded the contract for their services.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs specialising in public security services. With the flexibility of additional scheduled events over the contract duration, businesses engaged in providing security services have the chance to expand their influence and operational reach throughout regions in the UK. The open competition procurement method and below-threshold criteria made it an accessible opportunity for numerous bidders, with Marvellous Security Services Limited successfully securing the award amidst a competitive field. Through such engagements, small to medium enterprises with expertise in licensed and compliant security staffing stand to benefit significantly in terms of visibility and contract experience within the public sector.
