Summary of the contracting process

West Yorkshire Combined Authority procured temporary remote-signalling alarm services for West Yorkshire Police. The requirement covers the supply, installation and monitoring of temporary alarms, including burglar-alarm installation and alarm-monitoring services (CPV 35121700, 45312200 and 79711000). The alarms provide short-term protection and direct communications to support rapid police response for high-risk victims of crime, people receiving witness protection and crime-scene preservation. The expected operational level is around 150 alarms, although the number installed fluctuates with police demand and is not guaranteed. Delivery is across West Yorkshire. This is a public-sector security technology and managed monitoring requirement, suited to suppliers able to provide equipment, installation, communications, monitoring and responsive operational support as one service.

The procurement is complete: the contract was awarded to KINGS SECURITY SYSTEMS LIMITED on 28 July 2026 and signed on 15 September 2026. It used a single-lot open procedure, with two bids received. The awarded contract value is £733,256.88 excluding VAT, or £879,908.26 including VAT. The contract runs from 5 October 2026 to 4 October 2029, with an agreed extension option of up to 36 months, giving a maximum end date of 4 October 2032. Evaluation was based on price at 50%, quality at 40% and social value at 10%. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs. Participation required an Experian Credit Rating Risk Score of at least 51. Required insurance levels were £5 million employers’ liability, £5 million public liability, £2 million professional indemnity, £5 million product liability and £2 million cyber liability.

This award demonstrates demand from West Yorkshire Police for a managed temporary-alarm service combining security equipment, field installation, remote signalling, continuous monitoring and communications that can support rapid police response. A credible future competitor would need dependable alarm technology, the engineering capacity to install and remove units as requirements change, and a monitoring operation able to manage alerts and communicate effectively with police services. The requirement also favours suppliers with robust service management, incident-handling processes and the financial resilience to carry substantial insurance cover. Quality and social value together accounted for half of the evaluation, so technical delivery and demonstrable wider community benefit mattered alongside price. The two-bid process, including one SME bidder, indicates that smaller specialist security businesses may be able to compete, potentially through sufficient operational capacity or carefully structured delivery partnerships.
