UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Worcester City Council procured manned security services for its Trinity Street Housing Advice Centre in Worcester. The requirement is for an on-site security officer to protect the safe and effective operation of the centre while longer-term accommodation arrangements are considered. Duties include providing customer reassurance, managing incidents, monitoring access, and supporting council staff and visitors. The service covers the centre’s operational hours, from 10:00 to 16:00 on Mondays to Fridays. This is a site-based security services requirement for a public-facing housing advice facility, suited to providers able to supply reliable personnel for routine presence, visitor-facing support and responsive incident handling in Worcester.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Worcester City Council used a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. BIG PARKING LIMITED was selected for the single requirement, with the award active. The award date was 3 August 2026, and the contract was signed on that date. The contract runs from 3 August 2026 to 30 June 2028. Its value is £48,000 excluding VAT and £57,600 including VAT. The service is delivered at the Trinity Street Housing Advice Centre in Worcester. The outcome indicates a straightforward, single-provider arrangement evaluated through a direct award route rather than a competitive tender.

This procurement shows sustained demand from Worcester City Council for contracted, on-site security at a public-facing advice centre. Suppliers well placed for a comparable requirement would be able to provide trained security officers who can maintain a visible presence, reassure customers, monitor access and respond appropriately to incidents. Experience supporting staff and visitors in a council, housing, advice or similarly sensitive public environment would strengthen credibility. Operational reliability is important because the service depends on consistent weekday coverage during defined daytime hours. Competitors would also need to demonstrate the management capacity to supervise personnel, maintain service continuity and handle incidents professionally at a single Worcester site.
