UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust is considering a comprehensive protective security service across the Trust, operating in an acute healthcare environment. The requirement is for security services, including a resilient 24-hour, seven-day service. The Trust is undertaking early market engagement to understand the market, possible service delivery models, supplier capability and indicative costs. The work relates to the Trust’s sites in West Yorkshire; the procurement information identifies the UK but does not name individual delivery locations. The Trust will use feedback to develop a business case and consider future options for delivering the service. This is an exploratory exercise about a potential future requirement, rather than a commitment to buy services.

The process is at planning and consists of early market engagement, not a tender or invitation to compete. The Trust is seeking market information, particularly indicative costs for a comprehensive 24/7 service. The stated estimated value is £1.66 million excluding VAT (£1.992 million including VAT). The expected contract period is 1 March 2027 to 31 March 2030, with a possible extension to 31 March 2032. The Trust expects to publish a further notice on 2 November 2026. The engagement milestone is dated 9 October 2026; interested suppliers are asked to contact the Trust to request the full specification and statement of requirements. No competition procedure or evaluation criteria are set out at this planning stage.

This engagement is most relevant to security providers able to deliver a comprehensive, resilient, round-the-clock service in an acute healthcare setting. Suppliers with the operational capacity to staff continuous cover across a hospital trust, and experience designing suitable service delivery models, can contribute evidence on capability and costs to the Trust’s business-case development. The single requirement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so providers need not assume that only large contractors are relevant. The Trust is testing the market and considering future delivery options; participation is not a bid and gives no advantage or disadvantage in any later competition. Suppliers should treat this as an opportunity to inform planning and prepare for a separately conducted procurement, rather than as work currently being awarded. No specific accreditations are identified in the published requirements.»}burugburucould mention awkward place Wakefield typo correction grounded address locality Wakefeld likely Wakefield; use West Yorkshire inferred region UKE45 Wakefield district.
