## Summary

Cheshire East Council has engaged in a public procurement process for the provision of security services, structured as an open procedure. The contract, identified under the title "Security Services," was initially announced on 8th August 2025, with a tender deadline on 12th September 2025. The procurement process aimed to select a provider for key security functions such as mobile patrols, key holding, and static guarding services across Crewe, within the UKD62 region. The final award notice published on 9th December 2025, following the initial tender stage, highlighted the comprehensive nature of the security services required, valued at an estimated £950,000. Despite the cancellation of the initial tender on 23rd December 2025 due to misalignments in pricing and specifications, a decision to initiate a new procurement opportunity in the following year was confirmed.

This security services contract offers sizeable growth opportunities for businesses capable of delivering a high standard of service across security domains, benefiting especially SMEs with expertise in managing comprehensive security operations. With 35 initial bids and 14 progressing to the final stage, competition is robust, suggesting a strong interest in the sector. The Council's requirements favour entities proficient in delivering integrated security solutions throughout the borough under a single oversight structure. Businesses seeking to expand their presence in public sector security contracts would find this tender advantageous, particularly companies equipped to provide 24/7 operations and responsive service models. The ongoing and revised procurement process underscores the Council's strategic intent to secure quality security services while fostering competitive business engagement.
