## Summary

Transport for London (TfL) procured physical security guarding and reception services across its operations, classified as security services. The work is delivered in London and combines guarding with reception provision. The requirement is for services rather than goods or construction, and is intended to support TfL’s security needs across its organisation. This is a substantial, organisation-wide service requirement, rather than a single-site assignment. The procurement names TfL as the buying organisation and Mitie Security Limited as the selected provider.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Mitie Security Limited. The award was made on 21 July 2026, with a contract period from 26 July 2026 to 25 July 2031. The awarded value is £237 million. The tender estimate was £123,367,606. TfL used a competitive procedure with negotiation, on a selective basis, and set a submission deadline of 21 July 2026. The service was treated as a single requirement, with no separate lot awards reported. The published suitability settings marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are recorded in the procurement data.

For firms that did not win, this award demonstrates TfL’s recurring need for combined physical guarding and reception services across its London operations, at substantial scale and over a multi-year service period. Mitie Security Limited, identified as a large supplier, was selected through a competitive procedure with negotiation. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to show the capacity to mobilise and manage security and reception staff across multiple operational settings, maintain consistent service delivery and meet TfL’s security requirements. Experience delivering integrated guarding and front-of-house services for a large, complex transport organisation would be relevant. The recorded suitability settings indicate that TfL did not consider this requirement suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, so suppliers would need organisational scale and delivery capacity commensurate with the requirement.
