Summary of the contracting process

Surrey Heath Borough Council procured combined cleaning and security services for the shopping centre in Camberley town centre, Surrey. The requirement covers both routine cleaning and security provision as a single integrated service. It is classified as services, with the relevant areas being security services and cleaning services. The council required one service provider to deliver the whole requirement. The arrangement does not permit subcontracting or the use of subcontractors, so the lead supplier must be able to provide both service elements directly. The work is focused on the town-centre shopping centre rather than a wider borough-wide service. This is relevant to businesses that combine commercial cleaning and security operations or can deliver both disciplines through their own workforce.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Q3 Services Group Limited, with an award made on 13 May 2026. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026 and is active. Its value is £4,522,426 excluding VAT, or £5,426,911.20 including VAT. The contract runs from 26 July 2026 to 25 July 2029, with renewal periods of up to two years and a maximum extent date of 25 July 2031. The open procedure used a competitive flexible process. Evaluation comprised 40% price and 60% quality, including procurement and quality questionnaires, a price schedule, and presentations with questions and answers for shortlisted bids. Twelve bids were received, with one reaching the final stage.

This award demonstrates demand from Surrey Heath Borough Council for an integrated shopping-centre operation combining cleaning and security, delivered directly by one provider. A credible competitor for a future requirement would therefore need the operational capacity, management systems and workforce to run both disciplines without subcontracting. The evaluation places greater emphasis on quality than price, so bidders would need to evidence reliable service delivery, suitable staffing, supervision, response arrangements and clear quality controls, alongside competitive pricing. The final-stage process also shows the importance of presenting the proposed solution and answering detailed questions. The opportunity was suitable for SMEs, indicating that a well-organised specialist or combined-services business could compete if it can demonstrate sufficient capacity for the complete requirement.
