This process, conducted using an open procurement method, indicates that a complete tender with a significant contract value of £1,606,524 gross is set for delivery across the United Kingdom. The procurement timeline commenced with a tender submission cut-off on 11th August 2025, followed by proceedings through various stages including tender updates on 30th July 2025 and additional contract details on 1st December 2025. It recently concluded with the cancellation of the contract on 27th February 2026 due to specification deficiencies, affecting the award active as of a related contract value with Everest Recruitment and Services Ltd, an SME based in Bolton. While the tender has been cancelled, potentially affecting previous opportunities, businesses specialising in recruitment or security services, particularly those familiar with GDPR compliance and BPSS standards, would find similar tenders promising avenues for growth. The emphasis on legally compliant, confidential baseline security services and candidate checks echoed throughout the tender illustrates a significant demand for firms capable of adhering to strict compliance and providing detailed reporting. As UKSBS engages in substantial contracts with potential renewal terms stretching up to six years, companies adept in pre-employment screening and tender submissions through platforms like the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal have a pivotal opportunity to secure future contracts by demonstrating the ability to meet strict KPI and SLA requirements effectively. ## Notice The final date and time for the submission of bids is Monday 11th August 2025 at 14:00 DO NOT apply directly to the buyer.
