## Summary

The procurement process for the "Safer Neighbourhoods Team" was conducted by Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council, located at Gibson Building, Gibson Drive, West Malling, United Kingdom. The tender falls under the industry category of public security and law and order services and was in the award stage as of 4th June 2026. The procurement method was an open, below-threshold competition. The contract involved the provision of high visibility patrols by a four-person team enforcing the Borough Council’s Public Space Protection Order. The contract period began on 6th May 2026 and is set to conclude on 8th November 2026, with the possibility of renewal for the 2027 season.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in security and law enforcement services, particularly SMEs, as demonstrated by the successful award to TMS Protection Ltd, an SME based in Maidstone. Such contracts can significantly enhance business portfolios by establishing long-term relationships with local government authorities. Companies that can offer comprehensive public security services and maintain high standards of quality and visibility are particularly well-suited to compete in this arena, potentially benefiting from future renewal opportunities. With the focus on community safety and public space enforcement, businesses operating in the security sector with experience in high visibility patrols will find this contract especially relevant to their service offerings.
