This contract, valued at £4,000,000, aims to deliver guardian services to protect properties left empty across the Borough for reasons such as regeneration, sale, or redevelopment. The main objective is to provide security to neighbouring properties by keeping vacant ones occupied, thereby reducing vandalism and squatting. Interested parties must note that the tender period closes on 20th August 2024 at 12:00 PM, and the contract is set to begin on 14th November 2024, with an initial period of three years and an optional one-year extension. The procurement follows an open procedure below the threshold, making it accessible to a broad range of competitors. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses skilled in property management and security services. Companies that can provide effective occupancy and security solutions for vacant properties stand to benefit the most. Larger organisations, given Camden’s specification that the services are not exclusively suited for SMEs or VCSEs, are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Winning this tender could lead to long-term business growth and reputation enhancement in the public sector, given the sizeable contract value and the potential for a multi-year engagement. ## Notice The London Borough of Camden ('the Council') is seeking to award a contract for the delivery of guardian services to protect properties left empty due to a range of reasons including, regeneration, sale, redevelopment, on sites across the Borough.
