Published requirement description

Leicester City Council wishes to appoint Supplier(s) who have the necessary skills, expertise and proven experience to deliver security services across a range of the Authority's estate and to provide cover for in-house security teams. The requirement has been split into the following two lots:

  • Lot 1 - Keyholding, opening and closing, mobile patrols and out of hours call-outs
  • Lot 2 - Manned Guarding

The proposed Contract will be for two (2) years with an option to extend for a period or periods totalling no more than a further three (3) years taking the contract term to a maximum of five (5) years. Any subsequent extension to the contract will be subject to satisfactory performance of the selected Supplier and budget availability.

Please note, this procurement exercise has been abandoned. This is due to the tender validity period relating to price lapsing and it not being possible to assess the most economically advantageous tender in a fair and transparent manner.

What this means for your bid

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
