This procurement falls under the services category and is scheduled to follow an open procedure as outlined in the Public Contracts Regulations (2015). The timeline for this process includes a tender return deadline on 1st April 2022 and an anticipated contract commencement date of 1st November 2022, lasting for an initial duration of three years with the potential for a two-year extension. The estimated contract value ranges from approximately £800,000 to £2,000,000 per annum, depending on trade levels through the Port. Interested suppliers must attend a site visit as part of their tender application process, scheduled during the Supplier Days on 3rd and 8th March 2022. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in security services, particularly those with experience in port operations or similar environments. Companies looking to expand their portfolio in public sector contracts could greatly benefit from this engagement, as the value of the contract and the potential for long-term collaboration with both the Council and Portico make it a lucrative prospect. Suppliers able to demonstrate effective management of security operations and a willingness to work closely with public sector representatives will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. ## Notice Portsmouth City Council ('the council') is inviting tenders from suitably qualified and experienced suppliers to provide manned security services at Portsmouth International Port. Following targeted award on 21st June 2022, the contract will commence on 1st November 2022. The initial contract term will be for 3 years with possibility of extending the term by a further 2 years to a maximum total term of 5 years in increments to be agreed, subject to the agreement and performance of both parties. The estimated value of the contract will range from approximately ?800,000 to ?2,000,000 per annum (a maximum value therefore of ?10,000,000 over the maximum possible 5 year term). The value is dependent on trade levels through the Port site and as such no guarantees can be given as to the level of service required over the term of the contract. The services will be delivered to both the Council and Portico (a company wholly owned by the Council who operate an adjacent site, see additional information section for further details), although the contract will be with the Council only. The successful bidder will be required to work with representatives of both the Council and Portico.
