## Summary

The contract for "Keyholding and Security Services" was awarded by Qualifications Wales, a public authority operating under Welsh devolved regulations. Located in Newport, UK, this procurement involves unlocking and locking the office building, along with alarm monitoring and emergency responses, with operations spanning from 7am to 7pm on weekdays. The process followed an open procurement method below the threshold, culminating in an award status on 11 June 2026, with SGD Guarding LTD selected as the supplier. Services under this contract are set to commence on 17 July 2026 and run until 16 July 2028, with possible extensions up to 2030 conditional on performance.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for security firms, particularly small to medium enterprises (SMEs) capable of providing comprehensive building and facilities management services. Companies ready to commit to the Real Living Wage and swift response times within Newport stand to benefit. With a total of nine bids submitted in the final stage, this tender exemplifies competitive landscapes where expertise in security management can lead to business growth and the chance to collaborate with a key public sector organisation like Qualifications Wales.
