Site Security Services for Southern Connector Road, Swindon (2024-25)

About

Swindon Borough Council awarded a contract to Marvellous Security Services Ltd for the provision of site security for the Southern Connector Road (SCR) in Swindon.

The contract entails 24/7 on-site security (7 days a week, 365 days a year, pro-rata for the contract duration) to prevent unauthorised access until the road is opened to the public.

The SCR was constructed in 2022/23 to serve The New Eastern Villages (NEV), a major greenfield development.

Following the administration of the original construction company in September 2023, the road remained unfinished and unopened, necessitating security measures.

This contract replaces the existing security provision with a fixed term of 9 months, with options to extend for two additional 3-month periods, for a potential total term of 15 months.

The estimated contract spend is between £250,000 and £270,000 for the initial 9 months and between £420,000 and £440,000 for the full 15 months.

The awarded contract value is AUD 200,312.
