WREXHAM COUNTY BOROUGH COUNCIL – CITY CENTRE MARSHALS

Procurbid Secures Major Wrexham City Centre Contract

Client supported: Radius Security Ltd
Contracting Authority: Wrexham County Borough Council
Service: City Centre Marshal / Community Safety Services
Contract value: Approximately £500,000

Procurbid Consultancy supported Radius Security Ltd with its successful tender submission for the provision of City Centre Marshal services for Wrexham County Borough Council.

The contract provides a highly visible frontline community-safety presence throughout Wrexham city centre, supporting public reassurance, businesses and visitors while helping to address antisocial behaviour, vulnerability, safeguarding concerns and other issues affecting the city-centre environment.

The service has developed into a substantial operation, with Radius deploying four City Centre Marshals across approximately 160 operational hours each week, together with additional SIA-licensed provision supporting peak periods and the night-time economy.

The operational remit includes high-visibility patrols, public and business engagement, early intervention, conflict de-escalation, safeguarding and welfare interventions, incident response, intelligence gathering and detailed electronic reporting.

An important part of the service is partnership working, with Radius operating alongside Wrexham County Borough Council, North Wales Police, CCTV operators, local businesses, emergency services and other partner agencies to respond to incidents and emerging city-centre issues.

The contract represents another significant public-sector success for Procurbid and demonstrates our ability to help regional SMEs translate their operational capability into strong, contract-specific tender submissions.

WIGAN COUNCIL – BOLTON HOUSE ROAD ILLEGAL WASTE SITE

Tender Success Develops into Further Contract Award

Client supported: Radius Security Ltd
Original contracting authority: Wigan Council
Location: Bolton House Road, Bickershaw
Service: 24/7 Security Provision
Approximate annualised value of original security operation: £450,000
Commenced: July 2026

Procurbid Consultancy supported Radius Security Ltd in securing the security provision for Wigan Council’s Bolton House Road illegal-waste site in Bickershaw.

The requirement involved the rapid mobilisation of a substantial security operation at a complex, high-risk site.

Radius has been providing two SIA-licensed security officers on site 24 hours a day, seven days a week, supported by three solar-powered CCTV towers, welfare facilities, personal multi-gas monitoring equipment, PPE and the C247 electronic reporting and patrol-verification platform.

The operation also involves incident monitoring, access control, management oversight and multi-agency liaison, including working alongside Wigan Council, Greater Manchester Police and the Environment Agency. There has now been a significant further development.

Acumen Waste Services has secured the contract for the removal of the waste from Bolton House Road and is due to commence on site from 12 October 2026. Radius Security has subsequently secured the security provision associated with Acumen’s operation. Radius had previously provided Acumen/Panda with a detailed security proposal based upon its existing knowledge and operational experience of the site.

The proposal included maintaining the established 24/7 security operation at Bolton House Road and providing additional security arrangements to protect the contractor’s plant, machinery, equipment and welfare facilities, supported by solar-powered CCTV and Radius’s existing local operational intelligence.

This means the original Procurbid-supported contract win has not only provided Radius with a substantial local-authority security contract but has also helped create a further commercial opportunity with the contractor undertaking the next major phase of works at the site.

I think this is a particularly good Procurbid case study because it demonstrates the wider value of securing the initial public-sector opportunity – winning the original contract, delivering it successfully and then converting that position and site experience into further commercial work.
