UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust intends to procure security guard services for its Waterdale Site. The requirement is for security guards to provide on-site guarding services. The work is classed as a service procurement and is associated with compulsory social security services under CPV 75300000, although the stated operational requirement is security guarding. The buyer is an NHS foundation trust serving Rotherham, Doncaster and South Humber. Delivery is identified at the Waterdale Site, referred to in the requirement as the Rdash site. Suppliers whose core business is the provision and management of security guards for public-sector or healthcare premises should regard this as a relevant early-stage requirement.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the Trust has stated an intention to procure but has not issued an invitation to tender. A scoping exercise is scheduled as part of preliminary market engagement, with the buyer expecting it to take place by 11 September 2026. The buyer expects the next notice to be published by 9 November 2026. The intended contract period is 1 March 2027 to 28 February 2028. The procurement is below the relevant threshold. It is planned as a single lot and is described as restricted to NoE 0571. The available information sets out the requirement and engagement timetable rather than a response deadline, tender value or evaluation criteria.

This early engagement is most relevant to established security guarding providers able to supply suitable personnel to an NHS site. Businesses should be prepared to explain how they would provide reliable on-site guarding at the Waterdale Site and manage delivery of the service throughout the planned contract period. Relevant suppliers are likely to include firms with operational capacity for public-sector or healthcare premises, including the ability to recruit, deploy and supervise security guards. The buyer has identified the service need but has not set out specific accreditations, staffing qualifications, experience thresholds or performance requirements at this stage. The scoping exercise gives capable providers an opportunity to inform the buyer’s understanding before the procurement reaches the market.
