## Summary

The procurement process initiated by the London Borough of Hillingdon involves emergency services for Fire Fighters/Officers, including a Waking Watch at Union Park Estate due to intolerable fire risks identified. This service provision relates to 250 properties at the estate, of which some are leased by the council while others are private sector housing. The procurement stage is complete, following an urgent non-competitive procedure necessitated by the imminent risk of life, and managed under the legal framework UKPGA 2023/54. The contract spans from 9th November to 7th December 2025, with a total gross value of £96,768 and is located in the UKI74 region, United Kingdom.

This contract presents opportunities for businesses specialising in security and patrol services, particularly those capable of providing swift emergency response measures. Fiducia Security Services Ltd, an SME, has been awarded the contract, highlighting that small to medium enterprises, especially those familiar with high-stakes environments, can effectively compete in this sector. Businesses operating in the security services domain and possessing relevant expertise can consider exploring similar contracts for strategic growth, leveraging potential contracts prompted by urgent public safety requirements.

## 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. The services supplied under this public contract are strictly necessary for reasons of extreme and unavoidable urgency and as a result the public contract could not be awarded on the basis of a competitive tendering procedure.
