UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council procured round-the-clock CCTV control-room services for its Kettering operation. The requirement is for staffing and management of 24-hour CCTV coverage in the control room at the Newlands Centre, supporting continuous monitoring and the council’s critical service delivery. This is a security services contract, covering the operation of the CCTV control room rather than the supply of camera equipment. The work is for the council and is based in Kettering, Northamptonshire.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to 3 LIONS SECURITY LTD. The council used a direct award to maintain critical service delivery while a compliant procurement process was concluded, citing safety, operational and reputational risks if coverage were interrupted. The award date was 1 June 2026. The contract period runs from 5 November 2026 to 31 May 2027. The award value is £214,620 excluding VAT (£257,544 including VAT). The process comprised one lot. No evaluation criteria are stated in the published procurement information.

For suppliers tracking future CCTV control-room requirements from North Northamptonshire Council, this award demonstrates demand for continuous, managed security operations in Kettering. A credible competitor would need the staff and operational management capability to maintain 24-hour control-room coverage and sustain critical service delivery. Reliability matters in this setting: the council explicitly linked an interruption to potential safety, operational and reputational risks. The selected provider is a small or medium-sized security company, showing that a supplier of this scale has delivered the requirement. This was a direct award made as a short-term continuity measure while a compliant procurement was concluded, so it is evidence of the service need and the capability valued, rather than an open competition.
