## Summary

The Crescent Purchasing Consortium Limited, located in Salford, United Kingdom, is initiating a preliminary market engagement for a forthcoming procurement titled "Preliminary Market Engagement - Security Equipment & Associated Services". This process is in the planning stage as of 6th February 2026. The engagement aims to gather insights from suppliers, leading to the renewal of a security service framework set to expire in December 2026. The industry category focuses on goods such as security equipment, surveillance systems, and related services. Key dates include a scheduled engagement milestone due by 18th February 2026, with future notices anticipated by 6th April 2026. Interested participants can access and register for the opportunity via the dedicated supplier portal.

This procurement opportunity offers significant business growth potential, particularly for suppliers specialising in security solutions like burglar alarms, surveillance services, and security cameras. The tender process encourages the involvement of SMEs and VCSEs, fostering diverse participation. Firms with expertise in alarm and security system installation, testing, and evaluation will find this engagement particularly beneficial. The procurement's structure allows industry players to influence the framework's development, positioning their offerings advantageously in this long-term contract cycle projected to commence in September 2026 and conclude in September 2034.

## Notice

CPC's current framework agreement for Security Services is expiring in December 2026, and as a result, we are now beginning the process of engaging with the market to assist in the creation of the new iteration of the framework.
