UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by the East Sussex College Group focuses on the provision of security services across its campuses. This tender process, identified by ESCGT002/ EPT-75667, addresses a demand within the public security services industry, classified under CPV code 75241000, and is set to serve multiple regions across the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. Initially activated on 2nd February 2026, the tender process was scheduled to receive submissions through the YPO Portal. The main procurement category is services, managed under an open, competitive flexible procedure. However, on 14th July 2026, a tender cancellation notice was issued due to an administrative error related to the regulation standards, as it was originally set under a transitional arrangement without necessitating a contract notice.

This cancelled tender previously presented a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in public security services, with an estimated contract value of £632,000 (gross amount of £790,000). Despite its cancellation, the process highlights the potential for involvement in significant projects facilitated by public authorities like the East Sussex College Group. With the possibility of a contract period spanning up to five years, the project included options for additional services contingent on provider quality, proposing further value-added opportunities. While the tender process is now marked cancelled, organisations that align with YPO’s Building in Use Framework remain well-placed to pursue similar opportunities when they arise, leveraging their expertise in competitive and dynamic tender environments.
