Summary of the contracting process

The Gateshead Borough Council has procured the "Civic Centre Ground Floor Security Access" project, focusing on the installation of screens, turnstiles, and gates to enhance security in the Gateshead Civic Centre. This initiative is part of compliance with Martyn's Law to ensure adequate security measures in public venues. The procurement process, which falls under the public authority sub-central government sector, is complete as of 8th May 2026, with the contract having been signed on 25th November 2025. It was carried out through a direct procurement method due to it being below the competitive threshold, leading to the award being given to STEADFAST SECURITY SYSTEMS LTD. The project is located in Gateshead, United Kingdom, in the UKC22 region, with a contract period from 2nd May 2026 to 18th May 2026.

This tender offers business growth opportunities primarily in the security equipment industry, specifically for businesses specialising in the design and installation of security systems. As the procurement was executed through a direct method without competition due to specific requirements not met by other contractors, it highlights the potential advantages for businesses that can provide niche or uniquely tailored solutions. Smaller enterprises or SMEs with a focus on innovative security solutions may find similar direct procurement opportunities valuable, especially those capable of delivering customised security solutions that meet specific compliance standards like Martyn's Law.
