## Summary

LIVEWEST HOMES LIMITED, a public authority classified as sub-central government, has awarded a contract for security services across its Foyers in Devon and Cornwall. The contract is divided into two lots, covering Cornwall and Devon sites respectively. The competitive flexible procedure was used, featuring an open procurement method and a structured evaluation process. The award, dated 7th May 2026, involves an initial three-year term with the possibility of extending by three additional one-year periods, totalling up to six years. This contract, valued at £7 million gross, is an above-threshold procurement under the CPV classification for security services, with Kestrel Guards Limited being awarded both lots. The standstill period concludes on 19th May 2026, with the contract scheduled to start from 1st June 2026.

The tender presents various opportunities for businesses, particularly within the security services sector, to establish and expand operations in the South West of England. With a focus on providing security across multiple rural and urban sites, security providers of different scales, particularly SMEs, can capitalise on stable income streams over several years. The potential contract extensions demonstrate an opportunity for reliable growth and client relationship building. Those companies with experience in managing security services for public or residential properties would find this contract particularly advantageous, as it encompasses comprehensive service delivery across diverse geographical locations within a flexible contractual structure.
