Summary of the contracting process

Swansea University has initiated an open procedure to appoint a contractor for the provision of security guarding services, focusing on both scheduled and on-demand security needs. The scope includes additional security capacity for known events and ad-hoc requirements like VIP visits or an increased national alert state, ensuring coverage of around 17,000 hours annually. The project targets the regions of Swansea and Neath Port Talbot in industry category "services" (CPV: 79710000). Following the recent updates, the submission deadline was extended to 16 September 2024, with the procurement currently in the award stage as of 7 February 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in security services.

Companies with robust resources and capabilities in this sector, particularly those experienced in dealing with public institutions or adherence to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, stand a greater chance of success. The contract also includes future extension options, enabling long-term business growth for the winning bidder.
