Security Services Contract for Derby City Council

Derby City Council is seeking suppliers to provide security services for both the Council and Derby Homes. This procurement process will follow a Competitive Flexible Procedure, consisting of two stages: 1. **Invitation to Participate**: Suppliers will complete a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) to demonstrate their financial stability and technical capabilities. The Council will evaluate responses and shortlist up to five suppliers based on scored questions. 2. **Invitation to Submit Final Tenders**: Shortlisted suppliers will be invited to submit their final tenders, which should include pricing, quality, and social value proposals. The total contract value may increase to approximately £10,504,120.29 (excluding VAT) or £12,604,944.36 (including VAT) due to potential changes in local government structure. Suppliers invited to Stage 2 will need to show how they can accommodate additional requirements and provide indicative pricing for future increases. This information will aid in planning but will not be scored. Interested suppliers must express their interest and obtain documentation by 12:00 on Thursday, March 26, 2026. It is advisable to do this well in advance to prepare a bid. The deadline for clarification questions is Tuesday, March 17, 2026, and the final submission deadline is 12:00 on Friday, March 27, 2026. All documents can be found at www.eastmidstenders.org by searching for TD2330 or DN806220. Please note that expressions of interest must be submitted through the e-tendering system. Currently, only Stage One documents are available.
