Summary of the contracting process

Bangor University is procuring security services to support a safe and welcoming environment and supplement its existing internal security team. The requirement covers two linked services: a daily SIA-licensed security presence at the University Arts Centre, Pontio, and additional SIA-licensed personnel for events when required. Event duties may include traffic management, static guarding, stewarding, door supervision and similar security roles. This is a services contract for security provision, delivered for Bangor University in connection with its university facilities and events. The opportunity is suitable for businesses providing staffed security operations, including those able to supply both routine guarding and flexible event security resources.

The procurement has reached tender: Bangor University invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries had to be submitted by 23 October 2026 at 12:00, and tender responses were due by 30 October 2026 at 12:00. The intended award decision date was 13 November 2026 at 23:59. The contract is scheduled to run from 4 January 2027 to 3 January 2030, with an option for two further 12-month extensions, or parts thereof, giving a maximum extent to 3 January 2032. Its estimated value is £325,000 excluding VAT and £389,999.96 including VAT. Quality carries 60% of the evaluation, based on technical questions, and price carries 40%.

This opportunity suits security contractors with SIA-certified personnel and the capacity to provide both a consistent daily presence and additional staff for events. Suppliers must be able to provide staff who converse fluently in Welsh and English, including for Pontio duties and other events. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.
