## Summary

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), the UK's largest public service department, has successfully awarded a contract titled "Workplace Services - Security Guarding" under the industry category of security, fire-fighting, police, and defence equipment. This contract, worth £1,077,000,000 GBP, is set within numerous locations including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. This tender stage has been completed, and the contract will commence on 1st October 2025 and conclude on 30th September 2032. The procurement was completed via a selective tender method, specifically a call-off from the Crown Commercial Services Framework RM6232 under Lot 3c for Facilities Management and Workplace Services.

This substantial contract offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in the security and facilities management sectors, especially those capable of providing trained security officers and integrated security solutions. Companies with expertise in managing large-scale security operations across diverse locations, such as job centres and corporate hubs, are particularly suited to compete for such tenders. Furthermore, collaborating with a major public service department like the DWP can enhance a business’s portfolio and expand its reach within the public sector, providing a strong foundation for future growth and partnerships. Mitie FM Limited, which has been awarded this contract, will be working in collaboration with other suppliers and the DWP estates department supply chain, ensuring robust safety and security measures across the department's extensive estate.

## Notice

About The DWP: The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is the UK's largest public service department and is responsible for welfare, pensions, and child maintenance policy. The Department is responsible for administering the State Pension and a range of working age, disability, and ill health benefits to around 20 million claimants. The DWP operates on a scale that is almost unrivalled anywhere in Europe, and most people in Great Britain will encounter the DWP at some point in their lives. The DWP delivers its services through a leasehold Estate, operating over 800 properties nationally. This includes job centres, assessment centres, corporate centres, and service centres. The DWP Estate is geographically dispersed and has a large footprint on UK high streets as it requires a local presence.

The contract also covers duties for reception services required at Caxton House, London and Quarry House, Leeds and a 24/7 keyholding service to respond to requests to unlock and lock DWP sites without automation available through Critical Security Infrastructure Programme upgrades. The appointed Security Guarding Supplier will work closely with Authority, the Total Facilities Management Supplier, Security Control Centre Supplier and other members of the Authority's Estates department supply chain to ensure the safety and security of the Authority's employees, customers, and property. This contract was awarded as part of a Further Competition under Lot 3c of the Crown Commercial Services Framework RM6232 - Facilities Management and Workplace Services.
