Manned Guarding Contract Procurement Strategy
Kingston Council has awarded a contract for manned guarding services to ensure continuity of provision.
Kingston Council awarded a contract for manned guarding services in October 2025, following the Corporate and Resources Committee delegating authority to the Executive Director of Place in September 2025. This decision aimed to ensure the continuity of essential services and mitigate the risk of a break in provision.
The procurement process was initiated because the previous contract for these services was due to end in November 2025. Five compliant tenders were received and evaluated, with quality accounting for 60% and price for 40% of the assessment.
