## Summary

The DN Colleges Group is seeking a contractor to provide security services across all its campuses. This public procurement process is classified under the security services industry and involves a contract valued at £1,100,000, scheduled to run from 1st April 2021 to 31st March 2025, with an option to extend for an additional two years. The procurement method adopted is selective, with the tender period concluding on 31st March 2021. The contract's delivery addresses are located in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom, and it is coordinated by Doncaster College, a key public institution.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for SMEs, particularly those specialising in security services, to establish long-term contractual relationships within the education sector. Businesses that have expertise in providing site-specific security solutions, meeting regulatory requirements for staff vetting, and adhering to the European Working Time Directive would be well-positioned to compete successfully. Given the potential for contract extensions, interested parties should prepare to demonstrate their capacity to deliver high-quality and compliant security services over an extended period.
