UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is seeking a supplier for security support services across its estate in Sheffield. The requirement covers the provision of security services to support the Trust’s hospitals and other estate-wide operations. This is a public-sector services contract managed by the Trust, with delivery across its estate rather than at a single specified facility. The opportunity is relevant to businesses providing contracted security support, guarding and related protective services for healthcare or similarly complex environments. Suppliers should assess the tender documents for the detailed service specification, operational coverage and performance requirements applying across the Trust’s estate.

The procurement has reached tender: the Trust invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries were due by 12 August 2026 at 12:00, and offers were due by 26 August 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission is allowed through the Atamis e-tendering platform. The contract is scheduled to run from 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2029, with one further two-year renewal available, giving a maximum end date of 1 November 2031. The estimated value is £5,000,000 excluding VAT and £6,000,000 including VAT. The single lot is evaluated on technical quality at 45%, commercial cost at 45% and social value at 10%. Award was due by 23 September 2026.

This opportunity suits established security services providers able to deliver support across a healthcare trust estate and manage a contract of substantial scale. The published participation requirements cover both economic and technical criteria, with the detailed thresholds and evidence set out in the tender documents. Businesses will need the financial standing, operational capacity, trained personnel, management arrangements and relevant experience needed to provide reliable security support across multiple hospital or estate locations. The requirement is expressly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so organisations of those types can compete where they can demonstrate the required capability. Social value forms part of the evaluation, alongside technical quality and commercial cost.
