## Summary

Plymouth City Council is undertaking a procurement process for the provision of security services. The tender is divided into two lots: Security for Facilities Management and Security for Events and Elections, with the total value of potential contracts being up to £9 million. The procurement process follows a restricted procedure and is currently active, under the tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 29th November 2024. The services, classified under the CPV code 79710000, are to be provided in the UKK41 region. The Council seeks to establish a long-term agreement, potentially extending up to ten years, starting with an initial five-year period and options for extension.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in comprehensive security services, including guarding, surveillance, and event management. It is particularly suited for firms already registered with the Security Industry Authority (SIA) and those with experience in handling contracts of a considerable scale. Small and medium enterprises, such as Security Management South West Ltd., which has previously competed successfully, are encouraged to participate under the Council's commitment to quality and social value in their procurement processes. This could be a remarkable chance for security firms to expand their portfolio and establish a robust partnership with a regional authority.
