UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The TEC Partnership, a public authority sub-central government entity located in Grimsby, is initiating an open procedure for the provision of on-site security services at its Scarborough campuses. The tender, titled "TEC Partnership - On-Site Security Scarborough," falls under the public security services industry category with a procurement value of £750,000. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 3rd February 2026, and contract awards anticipated by 10th February 2026. The service will cover security needs at the Filey Road Campus and key holding responsibilities for the Lady Edith Drive Campus, with a contract period commencing on 23rd February 2026 and lasting until 23rd February 2028, with an optional renewal for a third year.

This procurement presents growth opportunities for security firms, particularly those with SIA licensed operatives and experience in educational or residential environments as stipulated by the tender requirements. The contract offers a stable revenue stream and the potential for further negotiation if the Lady Edith Drive Campus is sold separately. Businesses that provide static guarding, mobile patrol, and have experience with night and weekend coverage would be well-suited for this tender. The transparent open procurement method and electronic submission policy ensure a competitive and fair process, attracting a range of suitably qualified security companies looking to expand their operations within North Yorkshire.
