UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement contracting process led by North Northamptonshire Council involves awarding a contract for security services across multiple council properties. This process, initiated as a tender and currently in its award stage as of 2nd July 2026, aims to ensure the continuity of essential security services. The contract was directly procured without competition due to its below-threshold nature, thereby expediting the engagement with the supplier ‘1ST REACTION SECURITY LIMITED’. Situated in Corby, the council ensures services from 2nd July 2026 to 10th February 2027, facilitating uninterrupted security to its sites. This process falls within the services category and is crucial under CPV code 79710000, aligning with a compliance-led legal framework under UKPGA 2023/54.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for security service providers, particularly those specialising in alarm response, incident attendance, guarding attendance, and reliability, as well as incident reporting and administration. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like ‘1ST REACTION SECURITY LIMITED’ from Kettering have the advantage of participating in public sector contracts, contributing to business growth through sustained service delivery. The strategic scope within the UKF25 region enables businesses to strengthen their local partnerships while expanding their operational footprint in the public sector security domain.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Security service for multiple NNC properties

Notice Description

A short term continuation of the existing supplier arrangement due to the expiry of current contracts and the need to undertake a compliant procurement process.

The proposed duration reflects the minimum period required to complete procurement and ensure appropriate mobilisation of a new contract
