## Summary

Newport City Council procured overnight, manned security guarding for its Docks Way sites in Newport. The requirement is to protect the sites through on-site guard services overnight. The council’s description says existing security frameworks did not suit the site’s requirements, and that the previous security contract had expired, prompting this short-term arrangement while a new competition is prepared. The listed item classification is unusual for the requirement, but the procurement title and description identify the work as security services. The delivery location is Newport, Wales.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Central FM Group Ltd through a direct award without competition, described as below threshold. The award was dated 26 October 2026, and the contract was signed that day. Its value is £35,000 excluding VAT (£42,000 including VAT). The contract covers 1 January to 31 March 2027. There was one lot, marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The council’s stated reason for the short-term arrangement is to cover the period needed to prepare and run a new tender for the Docks Way security service; its description says the tender documents were being prepared for a planned January 2027 tender. No evaluation criteria are stated.

For suppliers of manned guarding, this award confirms Newport City Council has a specific need for overnight, on-site protection at its Docks Way sites, rather than a service that can simply be met through the security frameworks it reviewed. A credible competitor for this requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to provide reliable overnight guard cover at the sites and to meet the council’s operational needs there. The award went to a small and medium-sized supplier, and the single lot was also marked suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating the requirement was not reserved to large providers. Relevant experience in delivering staffed security at fixed sites would help suppliers show their service fits the requirement. The council’s stated intention to tender the requirement offers useful evidence of its procurement route for this service.

## Notice

Security services at Docks Way is provided by Central FM Services - the services were procured and the contract expired with a view to retender. Security frameworks were reviewed but services don't suit the requirements of the site for manned guard overnight at the site. The Council intends to tender for security services at Docks Way and is preparing documents to tender January 2027. An extension to the excepted contract is required to cover the timescales for tender.
