Summary of the contracting process

Worcester City Council commissioned building installation work to fit security measures in temporary accommodation houses. The measures are intended to make accommodation more secure for households who have fled domestic abuse. The work is for the council’s temporary housing in Worcester. This is a focused installation requirement linked to the safe use of temporary homes, rather than a general security service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Secure Horizon. The council used a below-threshold limited competition. There was one lot. The contract was signed on 18 September 2026 and runs from 22 September 2026 to 28 March 2027. Its value is £48,000 excluding VAT (£57,600 including VAT). The award is active and the contract is active. The published information does not state a separate award date or explain the evaluation criteria.

For future work of this kind with Worcester City Council, credible suppliers would need to deliver building installation work in occupied or prepared temporary accommodation, with security measures suited to households escaping domestic abuse. Relevant experience should show that installations can improve residents’ security while supporting the council’s use of homes for temporary placements. Suppliers would need the practical installation capability and capacity to complete a defined housing-based works package, and to coordinate delivery in Worcester. The selected supplier was a small business, showing that this requirement was deliverable by an SME; the procurement does not identify particular accreditations or technical specifications as selection requirements.
