## Summary

City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council procured security stewarding services for theatres. The requirement is to provide security support that assists with the smooth operation of theatre venues. This is a service contract rather than a supply or construction opportunity, and falls within the security services category. Delivery covers locations across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, the East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, the South East and the South West. The buyer is a sub-central public authority based at City Hall in Bradford. The requirement is organised as one service package and is specifically identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It is relevant to firms providing theatre security, event stewarding or related venue safety support across multiple English regions.

The procurement has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition, and the tender is complete. One supplier, CONTROLLED SPACE LIMITED, was selected for the single service package. The awarded value is £76,000 excluding VAT and £91,200 including VAT. The award was recorded on 18 September 2026, with the contract period running from 18 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The requirement was evaluated through a non-competitive direct award rather than an open tender. The contract covers security stewarding services for theatres, with delivery across England. The published outcome records the award as pending and schedules signature for 18 September 2026, so the selection has been made while formal completion follows.

This procurement indicates demand from Bradford Council for specialist security stewarding supporting theatre operations, delivered across a broad English footprint. A credible future competitor would need to provide reliable venue security and stewarding teams able to work in theatre environments, support smooth public-facing operations and deploy consistently across multiple locations. Relevant experience in theatre, events, arts venues or comparable visitor settings would help demonstrate that capability. Suppliers should also be able to manage staffing, scheduling, supervision and operational coordination at the scale implied by a multi-region service requirement. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs, suggesting that a smaller specialist security business could be credible where it can evidence sufficient workforce capacity, geographic coverage, service reliability and experience meeting public-sector requirements.
