## Summary

The procurement process for "Depot Security Services" has been completed by Northern Trains Limited, a body governed by public law based in York, UK. The tender, classified under guard services, involved awarding a contract for comprehensive depot security services across multiple railway depots, ensuring 24/7 security support. This contract, valued at £4,692,588, was awarded to Carlisle Support Services Ltd on 2 April 2026, following an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The procurement was processed under a limited method, justified by the need for services that repeat existing works within the framework of the ESPO Security Services Framework.

This tender creates significant opportunities for security service providers looking to enhance their portfolio with large-scale infrastructure projects. Businesses equipped with capabilities in static guarding, access control, and incident management would find this contract beneficial for growth. Given the nature of the services required and the scale of operations, companies with existing experience in railway or large operational settings would be particularly well-suited to compete for such tenders in the future, especially those able to demonstrate compliance with stringent security and safety standards. This could be a lucrative opportunity for enterprises focusing on expanding their footprint in the UK security market.
