## Summary

The upcoming procurement process, initiated by Tendring District Council, focuses on acquiring Security Services, encompassing staff provision for council meetings, events, asset monitoring, and building security. This procurement falls under the services industry category and is tagged in the planning stage, with engagement activities scheduled until 13 March 2026. The tenders will be managed through a new system, Open, which will handle all new procurement opportunities starting by the end of April 2026. The contract, above the threshold, is expected to begin on 1 July 2026 and will service the region represented by Essex County Council, incorporating Clacton-on-Sea and Chelmsford in United Kingdom's UKH3 region.

This procurement opportunity presents a significant prospect for businesses specialising in security services, especially those capable of operating at all times including weekends and bank holidays. Companies that match the suitability criteria for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) could find growth opportunities by providing staff for diverse security requirements. These include council meeting attendance, event security, and asset and building management. Firms with robust operations and flexibility in service delivery could particularly benefit from this tender, gaining exposure and expansion within the region's local government sector.

## Notice

The purpose of the procurement is to provide security services for the whole of the council including providing staff at council meetings, events, asset monitoring, evictions and locking and unlocking of buildings. Service must cover all times of the day including weekends and bank holidays.
