Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Enfield awarded a contract titled "Manned Guarding and Vacant Property Security Services for Enfield Council" in the security services industry category. This is part of a tender process initiated under the guidelines of a direct award call-off from the EEM Vacant Property Services Framework (Ref. EEM0071). The procurement method employed was limited, bypassing the usual call for competition due to the procurement's specific nature. The contract, valued at approximately £7,600,000, was signed on 1st December 2025 and is active with a duration of 12 months, extendable by another year at the council's discretion. The services are set to be provided across various sites in the Enfield region of the United Kingdom.

This award represents a lucrative opportunity for businesses in the security services sector, particularly those experienced in manned guarding and property security. Companies with capabilities in monitoring alarm systems, along with mobile security patrols, would find themselves well-positioned to compete for similar frameworks or extensions of the contract. SMEs like Guarding Professionals Ltd, who were successful in this award, illustrate the potential for similar-sized firms to secure substantial public sector contracts that support business growth and expansion within regional security service markets.
