Summary of the contracting process

Epsom and Ewell Borough Council procured security services for its car parks, covering evening and weekend security, including Bank Holidays. The work is intended to protect and monitor council car parks outside standard daytime periods. Delivery is in the Epsom and Ewell area of Surrey. The buying organisation is Epsom and Ewell Borough Council, a local public authority. The requirement falls within the security services category. It is a focused operational security service rather than a construction, equipment supply or consultancy requirement, so relevant suppliers are firms able to provide trained personnel and manage regular out-of-hours coverage across council-owned or council-operated car park sites.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 27 July 2026 to ADD GUARD SECURITY LTD. The contract was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. The award value is £92,700 excluding VAT, or £111,240 including VAT. The contract period runs from 10 August 2026 to 30 April 2028. There was one completed lot, covering the car park security requirement. The selected supplier is responsible for the awarded security services in the Epsom and Ewell area. The award is recorded as active, with a signature milestone due on 10 August 2026. The published requirement describes evening, weekend and Bank Holiday coverage.

This procurement demonstrates a local authority requirement for dependable out-of-hours security at public car parks, with coverage extending across evenings, weekends and Bank Holidays. A credible future competitor would need to provide trained security personnel, organise reliable rota coverage outside normal working hours and operate consistently across multiple council car park locations. Relevant experience in public-sector, municipal, transport or other public-access parking environments would help demonstrate an understanding of site security, customer-facing duties and incident response. Suppliers should also be able to manage service continuity over a sustained contract and provide clear operational oversight. The award to an SME indicates that a specialist security business can be suitably placed for this type of requirement.
