Summary of the contracting process

The Cell & Gene Therapy Catapult, a public undertaking located in London, recently cancelled the "Braintree Security Service" tender initially aimed at acquiring security services for their site in Braintree, Essex. The procurement process was conducted under open procedure, inviting bids for a public security services contract to run from 7am to 7pm and 7pm to 7am, 365 days a year. Although the tender stage reached completion with the publication of a termination notice on 15 April 2026, it originally sought expressions of interest until 31 March 2026, with plans for awarding the contract by 8 May 2026.

While the procurement was cancelled, business growth opportunities were inherent in providing security services for organisations such as the Cell & Gene Therapy Catapult. Ideal businesses to compete in similar tenders include those specialising in public security services, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). With a contract valued at £200,000 and requiring personnel on both day and night shifts, firms with expertise in maintaining flexible staffing solutions would have found advantageous opportunities for strategic expansion in this sector.
