Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has successfully completed an open procurement process titled "PAN3493 - Provision of Security Screens," aimed at appointing a contractor for the installation of security screens at its properties. This contract, falling under the construction works category and covering the UKF21 region, started on 1st July 2026 and extends until 30th June 2029, with a potential 12-month extension. The procurement process, which progressed from the planning stage on 13th February 2026 to the award on 21st May 2026, followed below-threshold open competition methods. The awarded contract, valued at a gross amount of £84,000, stipulates a 24/7 operational capability for urgent events, highlighting the significance of service reliability and prompt response.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities, particularly for small to medium enterprises that can provide consistent and reliable construction services in response to emergency property security needs. The successful supplier, SPS Doorguard Limited from Glasgow, exemplifies a fitting profile for other businesses eyeing similar contracts. The open nature of the procurement allows a broad spectrum of companies, especially those with the capability to meet stringent operational requirements within a set service level agreement, to participate and demonstrate their suitability for such demanding public service contracts.
