Summary of the contracting process

North of England NHS Commercial Procurement Collaborative (NOE CPC), operated by Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, is developing a national framework for specialist security services and nurse call systems. The scope is intended to replace the existing security services framework with an enhanced offer. It covers manned guarding, patrols, surveillance and alarm monitoring, CCTV and security equipment, access control, sensors, identification badges, installation, repair and system maintenance. It also includes nurse call and patient-monitoring systems, crisis management, cash security, and related safety, first-aid and technical training. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. This is a services procurement for suppliers able to provide security operations, integrated security technology, healthcare monitoring systems, or associated installation, maintenance and training.

This procurement is at the planning stage and is not yet a call for competition. NOE CPC expects to use an above-threshold open procedure for a framework agreement. The estimated value is £145 million excluding VAT, or £174 million including VAT. One planned lot is currently described, with a contract period from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029 and a possible extension to 31 March 2031; renewal is expected to be available. The buyer expects the next notice to be published on 1 November 2026. It is conducting pre-market engagement through a survey, with supplier responses and expressions of interest requested by 9 September 2026 at 12 noon. Group sessions may follow. Feedback will inform the framework design but will not be scored or used to award a future contract.

The planned framework is suited to small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, as well as larger providers able to deliver services across the United Kingdom. Suppliers should consider whether they can provide specialist security personnel, guarding, patrol and surveillance operations, alarm monitoring, access control, CCTV, sensors, identification systems and associated installation and maintenance. It may also suit businesses with nurse call or patient-monitoring expertise, particularly those able to support healthcare environments alongside security services. Relevant capabilities include crisis management, cash protection, safety and first-aid training, and technical or operational staff training. Businesses with complementary services may wish to use the market engagement to explain their delivery models and help shape the enhanced scope before the future competition.
