UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire West and Chester Council has completed the procurement process for a "Target Hardening Service" as part of their Home Improvement Agency offer. The procurement, categorised under repair and maintenance services, is located in the UKD6 region, United Kingdom. This procurement was conducted through a direct award process due to an urgent need arising from the incumbent provider exiting their contract early. The specific contract awarded to Community Safe UK Limited, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) with VCSE credentials, was valued at £250,000 with a start date of 1st April 2026 and an end date of 31st March 2027, while the larger framework notices a potential total value of £500,000 up to September 2027, with possible extensions depending on integration progress.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for SMEs, particularly those specialising in repair and maintenance services, to leverage and expand their business within public sector contracts. Companies with a strong track record in delivering targeted security measures and enhancements will find this project aligns well with their expertise. Moreover, the urgency of the requirement and direct award method imply a readiness for timely and efficient service delivery could prove advantageous for eligible suppliers, thus making it ideal for SMEs ready to meet tight deadlines and complex project demands.
