UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Southwark has announced a planning stage for the procurement of Security Services under the Soft Facilities Management Services category. The procurement process falls within the selective method, utilising a pre-Procurement Act commercial tool, and will begin in October 2026. This opportunity stems from the Fusion21 Workplace and Facilities Management framework, specifically targeting Lot 3: Security Services. With a gross estimated value of £15,000,000, the contract is planned to run for three years, potentially extending for an additional two years. The services will be provided in the London region (UKI44), with the process recognised under the UKPGA legislation reference 2023/54. Key participants include the London Borough of Southwark as the buyer and Fusion21 Consortium as the procuring entity, with a focus on security within public sector premises.

Businesses specialising in security services, particularly those already part of the Fusion21 framework or interested in selective procurement opportunities, will find this plan ideal for expanding their portfolio in the public sector. The emphasis on a £15 million contract provides substantial growth prospects for companies with capacities for large-scale security service delivery. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) oriented towards the UK regions, and particularly those capable of navigating the specific compliance and performance criteria as stipulated, could effectively compete and expand their operational horizon through participating in this procurement. Engaging early in this planned procurement process could provide substantial strategic advantages as the tender process progresses.
