## Summary

The Wheatley Housing Group Limited has recently completed a procurement process for a Safety and Security Service at its temporary supported accommodation projects in Dumfries and Annan. This tender, valued at £330,000, was awarded to Vigilant Security (Scotland) Ltd after a selective procurement method was applied under the Restricted procedure. The projects include six properties at Springbells, Annan, and fifteen properties at Lewars Avenue, Dumfries, with the need for rigorous security measures due to their nature as flatted accommodation. The service is expected to maintain safety and security, with the contract officially signed on 15 March 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the security services industry, particularly those specialising in community safety and support services. Companies with experience in managing security in residential settings and a proven track record of working with vulnerable populations would be particularly well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. As public sector contracts often require scalability and established local relationships, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to consider such opportunities to expand their market presence.
