Summary of the contracting process

Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council is procuring facility management and security services for sites in Blaenau Gwent, including multi-storey car parks, public areas, an energy centre and a cableway. The requirement also covers security provision at Silent Valley Waste Services. The appointed supplier will provide a facility management team to support daily site operations, alongside manned security on permanent and temporary bases, keyholding and alarm response, and mobile patrol services. Manned security must follow BS7499, while keyholding and alarm response must follow BS7984. This is a public security and facilities support services opportunity for organisations able to combine operational site management with staffed and mobile security services across the council’s facilities.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries were due by 12:00 on 21 August 2026, and tenders were due electronically by 12:00 on 28 August 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with options to extend by one year plus a further year, up to 31 October 2031. Its estimated value is £1,250,000 excluding VAT, or £1,500,000 including VAT. There is one lot. Evaluation is based on 60% commercial considerations and 40% technical quality. The contract is above threshold and bids may be submitted in English or Welsh through the electronic tendering process.

This opportunity suits an experienced, accredited security and facilities management company with the personnel, systems and supervision needed to operate several public-facing and specialist sites. Relevant capability includes daily facilities operations, manned guarding on both permanent and temporary deployments, keyholding, alarm response and mobile patrols. Suppliers should be able to deliver services in line with BS7499 for manned security and BS7984 for keyholding and alarm response, while coordinating activity across car parks, public areas, an energy centre, a cableway and waste services facilities. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so established regional providers and capable SME-led teams may be well placed to compete.
