## Summary

The procurement process was initiated by the Armagh, Banbridge & Craigavon Borough Council for the provision of event security and stewarding services. The project is part of the council's efforts to enhance security at various events throughout the borough. The contract was awarded to Eventsec Ltd, with the award date being 19th May 2026. This project falls under the "Security services", "Event services", and "Public security services" categories. The procurement method employed was open competition, classified as below threshold, initiating in March 2026 and concluding with the contract being signed in May 2026. The contract period is set between May 2026 and May 2027, with an option for renewal dependent on performance.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in security and event management services, especially those like SMEs that have the capability to scale operations as additional events are anticipated throughout the contract term. Companies that can provide SIA-licensed staff, event managers, and overnight security are particularly well placed to capitalise on this opportunity. The emphasis on quality and price, with a 60% weightage for quality, enables businesses to focus on delivering professional services at competitive prices. Overall, this contract offers a platform for business growth through recurrent engagements under possibly evolving event requirements and the potential extension of the contractual agreement.

## Notice

Submissions are being sought from experienced and highly professional companies for the provision of security and stewarding for events. In summary the requirement is for a combination of stewards including those which are SIA licenced, event managers, supervisors, event controllers and overnight security. Events are all subject to change, and it is also possible that additional events may be added during the course of the contract term, where required. This must be considered by Tenderers as part of their tender submission, and capacity must be available to support additional events.
