The procurement process, completed using an open procedure, involves providing keyholding and emergency response services across various council properties. The contract, valued at £376,754 with a gross amount of £452,104.80, is set to begin on 1st August 2026 and potentially extend to 31st July 2030. The services are required 24/7 during weekends and bank holidays and between 18:00 and 06:00 on weekdays. This contract is situated in the UKC region, specifically in Gateshead, and focuses on the security services industry category. The procurement method promotes open competition, facilitating 21 final-stage bids entirely from SMEs. This contract presents substantial opportunities for security services providers, particularly SMEs, to expand their business by partnering with a reputable local council. The need for continuous and comprehensive security solutions aligns well with firms that specialise in rapid response, static guarding, and secure property access. Companies looking to grow their portfolio in the public sector, especially those with capabilities to scale and offer flexible staffing, will find this opportunity advantageous due to the consistent demand for emergency response services during varied hours, including during school holidays and staff absences. Additionally, the potential two-year extension provides a long-term engagement prospect for strategic business development. ## Notice The Council seeks to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced Contractor to provide keyholding, emergency response, static guarding, and property access services in support of its current Building Management arrangements. Requests for services will be issued either directly by the Council for property access requirements or via the alarm receiving center for emergency response incidents. The Council does not guarantee any minimum volume of work under this contract. Emergency Response Services are required between 18:00 and 06:00, Monday to Friday, and on a 24-hour basis during weekends and bank holidays. Additional cover may also be required during school holiday periods and to accommodate staff absence. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: 24 Months with options to extend up to a further 2 X 12 Months ### Planning Information Market engagement questionnaire published on Open portal (https://www.open-uk.org/).
