Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea procured security services for a 2026 aviation event. The requirement covered event security provision in Swansea, under the services category (CPV 79710000). It was a single requirement, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The work was for the council as the public-sector buyer and related specifically to protecting and managing security at the aviation event rather than to a general, ongoing security-service contract. Businesses relevant to this requirement would include security companies able to provide event-focused guarding and related operational security services in Swansea, with sufficient personnel and management arrangements for a major public event. The named supplier was Safestyle Security Services Limited, an SME based in Cardiff.

The procurement has been awarded and the resulting contract has been completed and terminated. Swansea used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, citing urgency. Safestyle Security Services Limited was awarded the single lot. The award value was £45,000 excluding VAT (£54,000 including VAT). The contract was signed on 29 July 2026 and covered 29–30 July 2026. The recorded implementation end date was 26 July 2026, with a final value of £45,000 excluding VAT (£54,000 including VAT). The contract status is terminated, with the recorded rationale being contract completed. The tender itself is marked complete. The published data does not provide a separate award date or detailed evaluation criteria; the supplier was selected through the urgent, non-competitive direct-award route.

This procurement shows Swansea’s demand for short-duration, event-specific security services for a significant aviation event, delivered through a rapid below-threshold route. A competitor seeking similar work would need to demonstrate the ability to mobilise quickly when an urgent public-event requirement arises, supply appropriately trained and supervised security personnel, and manage deployment safely across the event operation. Experience of aviation, outdoor, civic or other large public events would help establish credibility, particularly where visitor safety, access control, crowd management and incident response are relevant. A business of SME scale can be suitable for this type of requirement, provided it has enough operational capacity, reliable staffing and clear management arrangements to deliver the whole event service in Swansea.
