Summary of the contracting process

The City of Liverpool College has concluded the procurement process for temporary agency security staff to support its centres across Liverpool until newly appointed campus support officers undergo DBS verification. The tender titled "Temporary Agency Security Staff" was initiated without competition, employing a direct procurement method as it was below the threshold, with a contract value adjusted to reflect its extension. The procurement, categorised under public authority – sub-central government, covers services delivery within the UKD72 region. Key dates include the award due on 27 March 2026, with the contract period set from the same day.

This tender provides significant business growth opportunities for firms involved in security services. Large companies like PROFM GROUP LIMITED, which successfully secured the contract, would likely have the resources needed to deliver quality security services meeting the college’s requirements. Businesses specialising in temporary staffing or security solutions, especially those already experienced in managing educational environments, would be well-positioned to compete effectively in similar future procurements, considering the direct procurement route and the need for quick deployment to address urgent staffing requirements.
