Summary of the contracting process

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council has concluded the procurement process for providing Corporate Security Services, awarding the contract to Kings Guarding Solutions Limited. This process involved a direct award procurement method, above the threshold, with the Council as the buying organisation. The procurement covers security services, classified under CPV 79710000, and pertains to locations within the UKE41 region of the United Kingdom. The contract is active from 31st January 2026 and reflects a legal basis tied to the UKPGA 2023/54 regulation.
