Summary of the contracting process

Choice Housing Ireland Limited procured security and CCTV monitoring services for its housing schemes across Northern Ireland. The requirement covers manned security, guarding, surveillance, patrols, alarm monitoring, and the operation of surveillance and security systems and devices. The work supports security and risk management at various Choice Housing schemes throughout the region, with the buyer based in Belfast. This is a service contract for a specialist security provider able to combine physical guarding and patrol activity with CCTV and alarm-monitoring capabilities. The requirement is relevant to businesses operating across Northern Ireland that can provide coordinated monitoring and response services for housing assets and residents, rather than to suppliers offering only equipment supply or a single-site guarding service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to INSEC N.IRELAND LTD on 6 July 2026. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028, with three possible one-year extensions, up to 31 August 2031. The awarded contract value is £6,747,417 gross; the original estimated value was £9,000,000 gross. Choice used a selective competitive flexible procedure with a BAFO stage. Bids were assessed on price, weighted at 60%, and quality and social value, weighted at 40%. Thirteen bids were received, with three reaching the final stage. The contract requires reporting on 30-minute response call-outs, complaints, and prompt responses to health and safety issues and notifications to Choice.

This award shows sustained demand from Choice Housing for a sizeable, region-wide security operation combining guarding, patrols, CCTV surveillance, alarm monitoring and rapid incident response. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the operational capacity to cover multiple housing schemes across Northern Ireland, manage coordinated physical and electronic security services, and respond to call-outs within 30 minutes. Evidence of reliable service delivery would matter, including controls for complaints, incident reporting and notification of health and safety concerns. Suppliers should also be able to measure performance and provide regular management information against response, complaint and risk-management objectives. The evaluation gives substantial weight to quality and social value as well as price, so service governance and wider community benefits would need to be developed alongside a competitive commercial offer.
