UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council procured security guard services for Leeds Kirkgate Market. The requirement was to provide security services at the market; the published scope does not describe specific duties or operating arrangements. This is a local-authority requirement focused on protecting and supporting a busy public market environment in Leeds. The work falls within guard services (CPV 79713000).

The procurement is complete and a contract was awarded to Secure FM Ltd, a small or medium-sized enterprise. The contract was signed on 21 October 2026 and runs from 4 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £76,560 including VAT. Leeds City Council used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The procurement was arranged as a single lot. The recorded contract is active.

This award shows demand from Leeds City Council for guard services at Kirkgate Market, with a contract suited to a supplier able to provide reliable on-site security in a public market setting. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate the staffing capacity, operational management and relevant guarding experience to cover the market’s security needs consistently. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that the work was delivered by a smaller supplier rather than necessarily requiring a large national provider. The buyer used a direct award without competition for this contract, so the award does not reveal a competitive scoring model or specific qualifications against which suppliers were assessed.
