Summary of the contracting process

Royal Holloway and Bedford New College procured monitored CCTV security services for its Kingswood site. The requirement is for surveillance cameras monitored as a security service, rather than equipment supply alone. The award’s service classification is security services (CPV 79710000). The contracting process identifies Kingswood as the delivery site; the published location data places delivery in the United Kingdom but does not give a town or more precise address for the site. The buyer is Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, a public higher education institution. The requirement concerns one site and one service lot, focused on monitored CCTV provision.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to BAUWATCH (UK) LIMITED through a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and runs from 27 August 2026 to 31 January 2027. Its value is £28,611 excluding VAT, or £34,334 including VAT. There was one lot, covering monitored CCTV services for the Kingswood site. The award data records the contract as active. No evaluation criteria are stated for this direct award; the available description says the requirement was awarded directly to Bauwatch. The contract period and values refer to this single awarded service contract.

For security providers, this award shows demand at Royal Holloway and Bedford New College for monitored CCTV coverage at its Kingswood site. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide both camera surveillance and monitoring as an integrated security service, with the operational capacity to cover the site throughout the required service period. Relevant experience in monitored CCTV and delivering security services for institutional premises would be commercially pertinent. The award went to Bauwatch via a direct award without competition, so it does not establish competitive evaluation criteria or demonstrate which credentials were decisive. Suppliers should therefore regard the demonstrated service scope and single-site scale as evidence of the buyer’s requirement, rather than assume a particular accreditation, technical specification or procurement route will apply in future.
