## Summary

The procurement process managed by Wigan Council for the 'Provision of Taxi / Safety Marshals and Management of Safe Haven' has reached the completion stage. Although initially tendered under an open competition method below threshold, the tender has been concluded with a contract award dated 3rd December 2025. The project focuses on the event services category and is located within Wigan, specifically in its town centre and potentially other key locations within the borough. As of 8th January 2026, Wigan Council decided to reevaluate the exercise, meaning the contract originally scheduled to run from January to March 2026 was cancelled, allowing the council to reassess operational delivery and funding. The legal framework for this tender was based on legislation from the United Kingdom Parliament Act of 2023.

This tender offered significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), given that the successful supplier was CHASE SERVICES GROUP LTD, a designated SME. The contract, with a gross value of £126,942.40, incorporated options for additional safety marshal deployments during peak periods such as holidays and large events. As such, businesses specialising in event management and security services would find themselves well-suited for this type of tender. While this specific contract was cancelled, such opportunities signal potential for future engagements, particularly for companies that demonstrate high competence in quality, price, and social value, the key award criteria in this procurement process.
