## Summary

The Ministry of Justice is currently in the planning stage for a large-scale tender titled "HMCTS Provision of Facilities Management and Security Services." This process, estimated at £3.2 billion, focuses on ensuring continued facilities management and security across 340 locations in the UK, including England, Wales, and certain sites in Scotland. This procurement falls under the services category and aims to establish arrangements post-expiry of current contracts in April 2029. A Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) period will run until the end of December 2026. Parties interested in this opportunity must express their interest by 18th May 2026 via the e-sourcing portal, Jaggaer. The procurement method outlined is a competitive flexible procedure.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth, especially for entities specialising in facilities management, maintenance, cleaning, and security services. Suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, the project encompasses a broad range of services, including hard and soft facilities management services and extensive security provisions. Participation in the Preliminary Market Engagement provides businesses a chance to understand the scope better and align their offerings with potential contract requirements, fostering new partnerships and expanding operational footprints in public sector contracts.
