## Summary

The London Borough of Hillingdon completed a procurement process aimed at addressing emergency fire safety measures at Union Park Estate, located in Uxbridge, United Kingdom. The contract, titled "Waking Watch including Fire Fighters/Officers," falls under the services category with the key priority of implementing 24/7 Waking Watch services due to urgent fire risks identified by the London Fire Brigade. The procurement was conducted via direct method without competition, below threshold, resulting in the award to FIDUCIA SECURITY SERVICES LTD on 14 September 2025, with the contract running until 12 October 2025. The process reached the award stage, and the contract has been active since its signing, with a value of £125,336.00 GBP.

This tender provides a strategic opportunity for businesses specialising in security services, particularly those offering patrol services and emergency response capabilities. SMEs with expertise in fire safety and residential risk management may find potential growth in collaborating with public authorities for similar projects. As the contract addressed critical safety concerns in residential properties, businesses offering innovative safety solutions and maintenance services are well-positioned to benefit from such demand and might consider targeting similar procurement needs in the sector.

## 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.
