Summary of the contracting process

YMCA London City and North is procuring overnight security services for three supported housing properties in Hackney, Islington and Haringey. The properties accommodate young people aged 16 to 25. The service covers professional security personnel from 8:00pm to 8:00am, seven days a week, with responses to ad hoc incidents. Duties include access control, visitor sign-in, CCTV monitoring, key management, patrols, incident reporting, and support for residents’ safety and welfare. The contractor will work with YMCA staff to maintain a safe environment for residents, visitors and the wider community. This is a security services requirement, including patrol services, managed by South East Consortium on behalf of YMCA London City and North.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries had to be submitted by 2 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers by 11 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2028, with an option to extend for a maximum of 36 months, potentially until 30 November 2031. The estimated value is £2,403,864 excluding VAT, or £2,884,636.80 including VAT, based on a five-year term. The award decision is due by 16 November 2026 at 23:59. Quality accounts for 60% of the evaluation and cost for 40%.

This opportunity suits established security providers able to deliver continuous overnight cover across three supported housing sites in north and east London. Bidders need trained, professional personnel with the capacity to staff 12-hour shifts seven days a week and respond to incidents at short notice. Relevant operational capability includes access control, visitor management, CCTV monitoring, key control, patrols and clear incident reporting. Experience of working in supported housing, with young people or in environments requiring sensitive resident support, would be well aligned with the requirement. Staff must meet safeguarding expectations, including enhanced DBS checks, and comply with health and safety legislation, GDPR obligations and YMCA policies. Strong customer service, conduct and collaborative working are also required.
