B1008 – Framework for the Provision of Security Services

Bridgend County Borough Council · Local authority

In brief

Bridgend County Borough Council has announced plans to buy security work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £1,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 2 years, up to 4 years with extensions, starting 1 June 2027.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 8 bids per contract for this buyer (from 15 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £1,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Bridgend County Borough Council is completing Pre-Market Engagement for the Framework for the Provision of Security Services to the Council. This will be a corporate contract which will run for 4 years. The new framework will incorporate security service requirements across several departments within the authority. As part of our pre-market engagement we are asking for interested parties complete a questionnaire. Please email tenders@bridgend.gov.uk for a member of BCBC’s Procurement Team to forward the Questionnaire for completion. The deadline to request the questionnaire is Thursday 24th September 2026 and the deadline to submit a questionnaire is Thursday 1st October 2026.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
