## Summary

Stonewater Ltd is planning a comprehensive security services programme for its housing organisation. The procurement will cover security services, including the requirements that Stonewater will define through preliminary market engagement, with the information gathered intended to shape the programme’s design and delivery. The work is associated with Stonewater’s operations across its service locations, although no individual delivery location is identified. This is a services procurement, classified under CPV 79710000. Security companies and specialist providers with experience of designing and delivering comprehensive security programmes will be the most relevant potential participants. Stonewater is the public undertaking responsible for developing the requirement and intends to use market feedback before finalising the procurement approach and service specification.

The process is at the planning stage and is currently a preliminary market engagement exercise, not an invitation to tender. Stonewater expects the future contract to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029. The published estimated gross value is £200,000. The procurement is below the relevant threshold. Stonewater is asking security suppliers to complete a market-engagement survey, with responses expected by 5pm on Friday 18 September 2026. Feedback will inform the design and delivery of the future security services programme. The tender procedure and procurement method have not yet been settled, and the planned requirement is presented as one lot. The survey is intended to support consultation before the future procurement reaches the market.

This engagement will suit security suppliers that can explain how they would support a comprehensive security services programme and contribute practical market knowledge before the requirement is finalised. Relevant businesses are likely to include established security service providers, integrated security companies and specialists able to advise on programme design as well as delivery. Suppliers should be prepared to describe their service capabilities, operating approach and experience of delivering security services for a housing organisation or comparable client. The buyer is seeking market input that can shape both the eventual service model and its delivery arrangements, so businesses with strong understanding of operational security requirements and the ability to offer informed, workable solutions should prepare to engage.
