## Summary

The public procurement process, initiated by the London Borough of Hillingdon, involved the procurement of "Waking Watch including Fire Fighters/Officers" services. This process responded to urgent fire safety concerns at the Union Park Estate in Uxbridge, UK, involving both council and private sector housing. The procurement was conducted through a direct method below the competitive threshold due to the emergency nature, with the contract awarded to FIDUCIA SECURITY SERVICES LTD. Key dates include the contract start on 17th July 2025 and its completion by 17th August 2025, with the finalisation date of the contract being 23rd September 2025.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for security service providers specialising in fire safety and property protection, particularly those capable of responding swiftly to urgent requirements. The contract, valued at over £120,000, demonstrates the substantial investment made by local authorities in ensuring public safety. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in patrol and security services, like FIDUCIA SECURITY SERVICES LTD, can benefit from such tenders, leveraging their agility and specialised services to secure similar contracts in the future.

## Notice

An emergency situation had occurred following a Fire Risk Assessment at the Union Park Estate and the London Fire Brigade (LFB) had reacted accordingly to the intolerable risks and risk to life by initiating required emergency measures. The estate is made up of 9 blocks of flats containing 250 properties with 13 properties being leased by the Council with the remainder being Private Sector Housing. Failure to take urgent action and implementing a 24/7 Waking Watch including Fire Marshalls and specialist Fire Fighters/Officers, a prohibition notice could have been issued by the LFB on the managing agents and responsible officers which could have meant the immediate decanting of 250 plus families all at the cost to the Local Authority.
