Summary of the contracting process

Warwickshire County Council has concluded the procurement process, awarding a contract concerning Key Holding, Property Inspections, and First Responder Services to DELTA FORCE GROUP LTD. This tender involves overseeing security across Warwickshire's corporate buildings. The contract is structured into two lots, covering the North and South regions of Warwickshire, each with a gross value of £180,000. The procurement, embarked upon through an open procedure, was initiated to align with the Security Industry Authority's standards. The contract commences on 28 April 2026, lasting two years with potential extensions until 2030. Following the completion phase, the standstill period concludes on 27 April 2026.

This procurement presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses in the security services sector, especially those encompassed within the small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) category, as indicated by the significant proportion of SME bids in both lots. The involvement offers advantages for firms focused on advancing quality and social value in service delivery, given the tender's evaluation criteria emphasising quality and cost. Businesses specialising in SIA-accredited services, such as alarm responses and property inspections, would find it advantageous to explore similar opportunities that Warwickshire County Council may offer in the future.
