## Summary

Rotherham Borough Council procured a target hardening service for domestic abuse victims living in their own homes, including owner-occupiers and private renters. The service improves home safety and wellbeing by assessing each property, recommending suitable security measures and installing approved interventions. Its purpose is to reduce the risk of repeat incidents and potential homelessness. The work covers Rotherham and the surrounding South Yorkshire delivery area. It combines domestic property assessments, security and safety equipment, installation work and building-related services. The requirement is therefore relevant to providers of practical home security, property safety, building maintenance or installation services, particularly those able to work sensitively with people affected by domestic abuse and coordinate recommendations with physical improvements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold procedure whose detailed method is recorded as unknown. It comprised one lot. MEARS LIMITED was selected, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 14 August 2026 and runs from 14 August 2026 to 13 August 2029. Its gross value is £120,280.03. The published outcome identifies services involving safety and security equipment, surveillance and security systems, installation and building services. The award record does not state a separate award date or evaluation weighting. The buyer is Rotherham Borough Council, and the selected supplier is a large organisation based in Gloucester. The contract is below the relevant threshold.

This completed contract demonstrates a defined local authority need for targeted home security interventions supporting domestic abuse victims in their own homes. A credible future competitor would need to combine structured home safety assessments with the ability to recommend appropriate measures and install approved equipment reliably across Rotherham and the surrounding South Yorkshire area. Relevant capability includes practical knowledge of domestic security and safety devices, surveillance or security systems, property installation and building services. Suppliers should also be able to work discreetly and safely in occupied homes, communicate appropriately with vulnerable residents and deliver a coordinated service from assessment through installation. The requirement suits established property, security or facilities-service businesses, as well as specialist providers able to manage repeat referrals and consistent delivery for a council client.
