Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Norwich City Council engaging in a contract for On-site security at the Mile Cross former depot, located in the region UKH15, United Kingdom. The project falls under the services category, specifically guard services, with the procurement conducted through a limited method due to its below-threshold value, offering limited competition. The procurement process has reached the Award stage, with a contract beginning on 20th June 2025 and concluding on 4th March 2026. The tender has been awarded to Norse Group Ltd as of 21st January 2026.

This tender opens opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in security services, as evidenced by the award to an SME, Norse Group Ltd. Companies providing specialised on-site security and health and safety measures could find such opportunities advantageous, especially those capable of catering to sub-central government entities and willing to operate within the UK's East region. The limited competition setting also indicates opportunities for local, smaller-scale businesses to secure contracts without broad national competition.
