Summary of the contracting process

North Lincolnshire Council procured event security services for Scunthorpe Theatres. The requirement is to maintain public safety and provide assurance across the theatres, covering security provision associated with events. The work is delivered in Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire. This is a public-sector services requirement for businesses providing staffed event or venue security, rather than goods, construction or general facilities management. The procurement was structured as a single lot covering the theatre security requirement. The selected supplier, White Fox Security Ltd, is based in Sheffield and is classified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The buying organisation is North Lincolnshire Council, a sub-central public authority.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold open competition. White Fox Security Ltd was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 28 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, with an extension of up to 24 months available, allowing the arrangement to continue until 31 August 2029. Its gross value is £132,000. The tender deadline was 8 July 2026 at 12:00, with enquiries closing on 6 July 2026 at 12:00. Evaluation weighted quality at 50%, social value at 10% and price at 40%. Electronic submission was allowed. The contract is active and the lot is complete.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from North Lincolnshire Council for dedicated security services at theatre venues in Scunthorpe. Suppliers considering comparable future work would need to provide a credible event-security operation focused on public safety, reassurance and the management of risks associated with public performances and events. Evidence of service quality is particularly important because quality carried the largest share of the evaluation. Suppliers should also be able to present a meaningful social-value offer, alongside competitive pricing. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a suitably capable specialist security business rather than only by a large national contractor. Relevant experience in theatre, venue or event security would help demonstrate fit.
