UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The City of Liverpool College has embarked on a procurement process to acquire temporary agency security staff across its centres, extending until the end of December 2025. This contract was extended from the original termination date due to the requirement for the completion of DBS checks for newly appointed campus support officers. The procurement process was conducted directly and was below the threshold, allowing the college to proceed without competition. The procurement falls under the category of security services and the college, classified as a sub-central government authority, is located in Liverpool, United Kingdom, within the UKD72 region. The award, valued at £46,720 net, was issued on 15th December 2025.

This contract offers significant opportunities for security service providers, especially those focused on responding swiftly and effectively to interim needs within educational institutions. The procurement process favoured businesses adaptable to short-term security demands, notably SMEs aiming to expand their footprint in the public sector. PROFM GROUP LIMITED has been identified as the supplier, suggesting their capability in handling such demands efficiently. Businesses specialising in temporary manpower solutions or security services under similar urgency criteria may find comparable openings attractive for future tendering opportunities within sub-central government institutions.
