Summary of the contracting process

The City of Liverpool College, a sub-central government public authority, has completed the procurement process for temporary agency security staff across all college centres located in Liverpool, United Kingdom. The contract, identified with the ID ETQ 1366, was necessitated to extend services until campus support officers commence their roles post-DBS checks. Conducted using a direct procurement method below the competition threshold, the award notice was published on 9th March 2026, with the contract value standing at £63,264 gross. The entire procurement process falls under the services industry category, specifically involving security services.

This procurement presents a business growth opportunity mainly for agencies specialising in security services, particularly those capable of delivering temporary staff at short notice. Given the direct procurement method employed and absence of competition, large-scale service providers, such as PROFM Group Limited—already engaged as the supplier for this contract—are well-positioned for such opportunities. The contract's short-term nature demands reliability and swift deployment capabilities, making it suitable for established companies with a proven track record in the security sector.
