Procurement Method Details
Direct award
Why this procedure was chosen
This interim direct award is being made to 1st Reaction Security Ltd for the provision of essential security services across multiple corporate properties manged by North Northamptonshire Council. The scope of services includes manned guarding, static security at vacant sites, key holding, CCTV monitoring and emergency response services. This direct award is strictly limited to an interim period of 34 weeks and 3 days (estimated value £444,744) which represents the minimum timeframe required to safely execute a fully compliant procurement exercise and ensure an achievable mobilisation period. A direct award is necessary due to extreme operational urgency following the expiry of previous contract arrangements. A total cessation or sudden withdrawal of these security measures would expose Council assets, corporate offices and vacant sites to significant safety risks, property damage and severe public service disruption. The risk of asset vulnerability and immediate insurance implications means a competitive tender cannot be completed in the immediate timeframe required to protect these premises. To ensure a return to full competitive tension, the Council's procurement and service department teams are actively progressing a long-term 3+1+1 year contract route to market. This long term requirement will be openly competed through the YPO Building in Use - Support Services DPS - 879 to streamline market engagement and secure long-term compliance.
