Summary of the contracting process

LHC Procurement Group for the Scottish Procurement Alliance (SPA) procured waking watch services for Ochil View Housing Association Ltd. Waking watch is a building security service in which trained personnel maintain an active watch, identify potential fire or safety risks, raise the alarm and support residents or evacuation procedures where required. The procurement falls within security services and guard services. It is a service requirement rather than a supply of equipment or construction work. The named buyer is LHC Procurement Group for the Scottish Procurement Alliance (SPA), and the requirement is associated with Ochil View Housing Association Ltd. The available description directs suppliers to the tender documents for the full operational scope and service requirements.

This procurement has reached the award stage: SSG Support Services Group LTD was selected from two bids. The award value is £146,880 (GBP), with the award recorded on 6 December 2026. The contract is recorded as active and was signed on 6 December 2026. The process used a quick quote award route for waking watch security and guarding services. The award covers the requirement as a single recorded service item. The procurement title identifies reference OV/SPA/FS2/53025. The published information records the tender period start as 6 December 2026. The outcome demonstrates that the buyer selected a specialist security services supplier for this housing-related requirement.

This award is relevant to security companies able to provide waking watch services for housing providers, particularly where the work requires continuous on-site vigilance, rapid recognition of fire or other safety risks, alarm raising and support for resident safety procedures. Credible competitors would need an operational model capable of reliably staffing a live guarding service, maintaining cover across the required premises and managing handovers, incidents and escalation. Experience in residential or housing environments would help demonstrate understanding of occupier safety and sensitive site operations. Firms should also be able to evidence competent, trained personnel, effective supervision, incident reporting and the capacity to deliver a dependable service at a contract scale of this kind for SPA-related housing requirements.
