## Summary

Swindon Borough Council has taken steps to ensure the security of the Southern Connector Road (SCR) until its completion and public opening. The road, which aims to serve the New Eastern Villages (NEV) development with 8,000 homes, schools, and other facilities, saw its initial construction phase completed in 2023. However, due to the administration of the main contractor in September 2023, further construction was halted, and security services were necessary to prevent unauthorised access. An initial contract for these services was awarded to Marvellous Security Services Ltd for nine months, starting from 21 February 2025, with options to extend for an additional three months, with a total potential duration of 15 months. The total estimated contract value over the 15-month period is between £420,000 and £440,000.

The site security contract presents a significant opportunity for qualified security service providers to contribute to a large-scale infrastructure project while also fostering long-term business growth. Businesses that specialise in round-the-clock security services, particularly those adept at managing large, unoccupied sites, would likely find this opportunity beneficial. Expertise in providing comprehensive, year-round security measures and handling large-scale projects will afford the chosen business a pivotal role in ensuring the safe and timely completion of the SCR, which is crucial for local community development. The successful firm needs to ensure high standards in quality implementation, monitoring, and adherence to social value criteria, as the contract entails a significant financial outlay. This tendering process leverages an open procurement method, providing an equitable opportunity for qualified suppliers to demonstrate their capabilities in delivering essential security services.

## Notice

Site Security - Southern Connector Road, Swindon Swindon Borough Council invites expressions of interest from suitably qualified and experienced service providers for the provision of site security for the Southern Connector Road (SCR) to secure the site until the appropriate stage that the road is ready to open to the public. The site security will include the provision of on-site 24 hour site security (7 days a week, 365 days a year - pro-rata'd to the contract duration) for the SCR to prevent unauthorised access. The anticipated contract duration is 9 months (with optional extensions of +3 months +3 months). Project Description The Southern Connector Road was constructed throughout 2022 and 2023 with the objective to serve The New Eastern Villages (NEV), one of the largest greenfield developments in the country, which will consist of 8,000 homes, new schools, employment spaces and community and leisure facilities. Prior to its completion, the contracted company that built the Southern Connector Road went into Administration in September 2023. Due to the liquidation of the contractor, the Council have not been in the position to open the road whilst these works are unfinished on the site. As such, security measures have been put in place to ensure the site is not access via unauthorised personnel whilst these works are unfinished. Swindon Borough Council has been working towards the completion of the scheme in order to open the road fully (whilst also balancing this with the requirements of the legal Administration process). Therefore, this has taken some time to work through the legal process, whilst also identifying any outstanding works on site. As the project team move forward with an identified scope of works, this contract seeks to replace the existing provision with a fixed contract duration to address the security needs of the site until it is opened to the public. Full details regarding the requirements of the contract and the scope of activities can be found within "SCR Site Security Requirement - 2024-25". The initial contract term will be for 9 months with an option to extend for a further +3 months & +3 months (2 periods of 3 months) for a potential total contract term of 15 months as stated in the ITT documents. Estimated contract spend is between PS250,000 and PS270,000 across the initial 9 month contract term and between PS420,000 and PS440,000 across the potential total 15 month contract term. Full details relating to the Services are provided in the tender documents.
