Summary of the contracting process

Renfrewshire Council procured event security infrastructure services for hostile vehicle mitigation. The requirement covered the delivery and installation of measures to protect five events taking place across Renfrewshire over a nine-month programme. The work is an event services requirement, classified under CPV 79952000, rather than a general construction or security staffing contract. Renfrewshire Council is the buying organisation, with the activity delivered for its events in the Renfrewshire area. The requirement is therefore relevant to established providers of hostile vehicle mitigation, event security infrastructure, traffic and vehicle-control barriers, and associated installation services. It may also suit specialist event production or security businesses that can provide the technical equipment and installation capability needed for multiple public events in the area.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through an open procedure. Geo-flow Ltd was selected for the single lot. The contract is active, was signed on 6 August 2026, and is valued at £68,192.75. The underlying requirement covers five events over a nine-month period. Two bids were received, both from small and medium-sized enterprises, and both were submitted electronically. The award includes subcontracting: 10% of the contract is to be subcontracted. The procurement was conducted under Renfrewshire Council’s contract standing orders and the Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2016, and is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The award outcome provides a clear benchmark for the scope, route to market and contract value of this requirement.

This award demonstrates demand from Renfrewshire Council for a specialist supplier able to provide hostile vehicle mitigation across several public events, rather than for a single isolated installation. A credible future competitor would need an established track record in hostile vehicle mitigation, sufficient equipment and installation capacity for multiple events, and the ability to plan and deliver consistently across a programme lasting several months. Experience of public-sector or event environments would help, particularly where installations must be coordinated around live event operations and differing site conditions. The procurement also shows that small and medium-sized businesses can compete for this type of work. Businesses without the full delivery capability may consider a clearly defined subcontracting model, while retaining strong control of quality, safety and installation performance.
