UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council procured on-site security services for Chesterfield Library. The requirement covers public security at the library, with existing security provision delivered six days a week. The buyer is Derbyshire County Council, based at County Hall in Matlock, and the service is delivered at Chesterfield Library in Derbyshire. The procurement is classified as public security services. It is a single service requirement rather than a multi-lot programme, and the scope is focused on maintaining security provision at one library site. This is relevant to security companies experienced in guarding or protecting public buildings, particularly those able to provide a regular on-site presence and manage operational continuity for a local authority facility.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to MONARCH SECURITY SERVICES LTD. It was a direct award of existing on-site security provision, using a below-threshold route; the procurement method is recorded as unknown within that below-threshold category. The contract was signed on 14 July 2026 and runs from 14 July 2026 to 30 November 2027. One 12-month extension is available, with the maximum end date of 30 November 2028. The contract value is £70,000 excluding VAT and £84,000 including VAT. The contract is active and below the applicable threshold. The award covers the single Chesterfield Library security requirement.

This award shows a local authority requirement for dependable, recurring security cover at a public library, with staffing needed six days each week and continuity across a substantial service period. Competitors seeking similar work with Derbyshire County Council would need practical public-building security experience, the operational capacity to maintain regular on-site cover, and the management systems to sustain service quality over the full contract term and any extension. Familiarity with library environments and public-facing facilities would help a supplier demonstrate suitability for this specific requirement. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that the work can be delivered by a focused security business rather than only by a national-scale contractor.
