UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Community Gateway Association Limited is procuring concierge and security services for its support schemes. The requirement includes routine concierge and security provision, key holding for Harbour House and Chain Caul Way, and occasional manned guarding. The aims are high-quality service, strong service-user satisfaction, compliant delivery, value for money and social value. The buying organisation is based in Preston, and the services will be delivered at Community Gateway Association support schemes in the North West of England. This is a single service requirement covering security services, rather than separate lots for different activities. The procurement is administered for Community Gateway Association by Clarity Procurement Solutions Limited.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure under the Procurement Act 2023. The process starts with a Procurement Specific Questionnaire, with the four highest-scoring bidders shortlisted for the Invitation to Tender stage. The expression-of-interest deadline was 10 September 2026 at 12 noon, and the award decision was due by 8 January 2027. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with two one-year extensions available, giving a maximum end date of 31 March 2032. Its estimated gross value is £1,310,000 including VAT over five years. Evaluation is 40% price, 20% service delivery, 15% contract management, 15% customer care, 5% social value and 5% health and safety.

This opportunity suits security and facilities-service providers able to combine staffed concierge operations with key holding and occasional manned guarding. Suppliers need the economic and technical capability required by the procurement documents and must demonstrate that they can deliver reliable, compliant services across multiple support schemes. The staged process tests eligibility and suitability through pass-or-fail, information-only and scored questionnaire sections before assessing detailed tender proposals. Shortlisted bidders will be assessed through quality evaluation, written submissions, bidder interviews and pricing. Strong operational delivery, contract management, customer care, health and safety controls and practical social-value commitments will all matter. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to established regional providers as well as larger security companies.
