## Summary

Bridgend County Borough Council is planning a corporate framework for security services across several departments within the authority. The requirement covers the council’s security service needs and is classified as security services. It is a public-sector services contract managed by the council, with delivery across the council’s area in Bridgend. The framework is intended to bring multiple departmental requirements together under one arrangement rather than procure a single, isolated service. Security companies that provide guarding or related protective services for public bodies, corporate estates or multi-site organisations should find the subject matter relevant. The council has indicated that the framework will run for four years, with the detailed service scope to be developed through its pre-market engagement.

The process is at the planning stage: the council is carrying out pre-market engagement and has not yet invited tenders. Interested suppliers are being asked to complete a questionnaire; requests for the questionnaire are expected by 24 September 2026 at 5pm, with completed questionnaires expected by 1 October 2026. The council expects to publish the next notice on 4 January 2027. It anticipates using a framework agreement with one lot, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The estimated value is £1,000,000 excluding VAT and £1,200,000 including VAT. The initial contract period is expected to run from 1 June 2027 to 31 May 2029, with renewal provisions allowing extension to 31 May 2031.

This planning exercise is relevant to security service providers able to support a corporate public-sector customer across several departments. The single framework lot may suit small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as larger firms with the operational capacity to coordinate services across the council’s estate. Suppliers should be prepared to explain their experience, service model and ability to provide reliable coverage for multiple council requirements. The questionnaire is the immediate route to influence how the future framework is shaped, so firms with practical knowledge of guarding, site security, incident response and contract management should consider contributing. The published information does not set accreditation, staffing or technical thresholds; suppliers should use the engagement to demonstrate relevant capability and identify workable requirements.
