Summary of the contracting process

The British Council, a public authority within the sub-central government in the United Kingdom, has concluded its procurement process for "Provision of Man Guarding Services - British Council Jordan". This contract was awarded using an open procurement method under a competitive flexible procedure. The procurement process involved outsourcing security operations at its main premises in Jordan, a contract valued at GBP 269,608.25, with a gross total amounting to GBP 312,745.57. Safwa Security and Protection Company, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Amman, Jordan, was awarded the contract, which will commence on 12th April 2026 and potentially extend up to 2031 with options of two 12-month renewals. The procurement stage has now reached completion with the standstill period ending on 11th March 2026.

This tender presents an opportunity for SMEs with expertise in security services to partner with reputable international entities such as the British Council. Companies with experience in man guarding services, especially those familiar with the regulatory environment in Jordan, are well-suited to collaborate on similar projects. The procedural approach, featuring flexible stages and a focus on social value and quality, indicates that prospective bidders should be prepared to offer innovative and cost-effective solutions in an open, competitive environment. The requirement for previous experience and compliance with local licensing standards suggests that businesses seeking growth in the security sector could leverage such contracts to expand their footprint both locally and internationally.
