Summary of the contracting process

The Wrexham County Borough Council, a sub-central government authority in the United Kingdom's region UKL23, has recently awarded a contract for City Centre Wardens to CHASE SERVICES GROUP LTD. This contract commenced on 2nd February 2026 and will run until 31st August 2028. This procurement, which falls under the services category specifically for security services, involved an open procurement method, ensuring competitive bidding. The total contract value is £270,000 gross. The City Centre Wardens will operate in Wrexham, engaging with local stakeholders to manage anti-social behaviour and contribute to a safe, welcoming city centre environment. The tender was part of a structured process, including planning and award stages, making use of Welsh devolved regulations.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities, particularly for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the security services industry, as demonstrated by the success of CHASE SERVICES GROUP LTD, a SME that secured the contract. Businesses with capabilities in providing reliable, responsive security services and flexibility to manage variable working hours, particularly during events, would find such opportunities beneficial. The need for ongoing partnership with local agencies and adaptability to potentially increase service scope provides a platform for companies to demonstrate added value and build long-term client relationships. The open nature of the procedure allows equal opportunity for capable suppliers to compete and position themselves as key service providers in public safety initiatives within local government frameworks.
