Summary of the contracting process

Robert Gordon University (RGU) recently completed a procurement process for security services, awarding the contract to Professional Guarding Facilities Management. The process was under a legal basis of CELEX 32014L0024, classified under CPV code 79710000 for security services. The services are required at RGU's Garthdee Campus and various accommodation sites in Aberdeen City, within the region UKM50. The procurement followed an open procedure, covering a value of £267,776.04 and was concluded with the contract signed on 10th June 2026. The tendering stage was initially active with submissions ending on 18th March 2026, but a lot in the tender was later cancelled.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses interested in providing security services, particularly those that can meet high-quality criteria accounting for 70% of the award decision, alongside competitive pricing. Companies specialising in security personnel, especially those with licensed SIA staff, are well-suited to compete in such tenders due to the technical demands of the contract. The open procedure, allowing for electronic submissions, ensures a competitive environment favourable to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), evidenced by the 24 bids submitted, all from SMEs. Such engagements provide growth avenues for firms like Professional Guarding Facilities Management and similar entities aiming to deliver services in educational sectors governed by public law.
