## Summary

The University of Nottingham has completed a procurement process for late-night security guarding services for its libraries, with a total contract value of £736,000. This project, classified under security services, is set to cover up to six libraries and will involve collaboration with the university's internal Security department. The contract commencement date is 1st November 2021, and it will run until 31st October 2025. This procurement was executed through a selective method as a direct call-off from a framework agreement, with all tender processes completed by 18th June 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the security services sector, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) given the suitability endorsement for such businesses. Companies that specialise in providing security personnel, especially those experienced in managing incidents in educational environments or large facilities, would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future. Engaging with the University of Nottingham may also open doors to additional services required by the university across its multiple facilities.
