two.1.4) Short description
Site Security – Southern Connector Road, Swindon
Swindon Borough Council invites expressions of interest from suitably qualified and experienced service providers for the provision of site security for the Southern Connector Road (SCR) to secure the site until the appropriate stage that the road is ready to open to the public. The site security will include the provision of on-site 24 hour site security (7 days a week, 365 days a year – pro-rata’d to the contract duration) for the SCR to prevent unauthorised access. The anticipated contract duration is 9 months (with optional extensions of +3 months +3 months).
Project Description
The Southern Connector Road was constructed throughout 2022 and 2023 with the objective to serve The New Eastern Villages (NEV), one of the largest greenfield developments in the country, which will consist of 8,000 homes, new schools, employment spaces and community and leisure facilities.
Prior to its completion, the contracted company that built the Southern Connector Road went into Administration in September 2023. Due to the liquidation of the contractor, the Council have not been in the position to open the road whilst these works are unfinished on the site. As such, security measures have been put in place to ensure the site is not access via unauthorised personnel whilst these works are unfinished.
Swindon Borough Council has been working towards the completion of the scheme in order to open the road fully (whilst also balancing this with the requirements of the legal Administration process). Therefore, this has taken some time to work through the legal process, whilst also identifying any outstanding works on site.
As the project team move forward with an identified scope of works, this contract seeks to replace the existing provision with a fixed contract duration to address the security needs of the site until it is opened to the public.
Full details regarding the requirements of the contract and the scope of activities can be found within “SCR Site Security Requirement – 2024-25”.
The initial contract term will be for 9 months with an option to extend for a further +3 months & +3 months (2 periods of 3 months) for a potential total contract term of 15 months as stated in the ITT documents.
Estimated contract spend is between £250,000 and £270,000 across the initial 9 month contract term and between £420,000 and £440,000 across the potential total 15 month contract term.
Full details relating to the Services are provided in the tender documents.
