CO6089 TH Sanctuary Project

The London Borough of Tower Hamlets has recently awarded a contract for the CO6089 TH Sanctuary Project, aimed at enhancing home security for victims of Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG). The initiative, funded annually since 2004 by Homelessness Services, is designed to provide customised security installations to help victims safely remain in their homes. The project falls under the services category, specifically health and social work services, with AFS (SECURITY) LIMITED selected as the supplier through an open procurement method.

The contract's award value is £190,102, with a gross amount of £228,122.4, and it extends from 7th July 2025 to 31st March 2029, covering the UKI region. This procurement provides substantial growth opportunities for businesses in the security services industry, particularly those specialising in bespoke home security solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with the capability to deliver tailored security services can particularly benefit from such tenders, as evidenced by AFS (SECURITY) LIMITED’s successful bid.

Additionally, the focus on social value and quality in the selection criteria allows business entities that emphasise sustainable and community-focused solutions to gain a competitive advantage in future tenders of this nature. Business growth can be further facilitated by engaging in partnerships that address pressing societal issues, such as domestic violence, thereby enhancing corporate social responsibility profiles.
