The purpose of this engagement is to gain insight into current market capability, innovation, best practice, service delivery models, emerging technologies, and commercial approaches that could support the Council in delivering an effective, efficient, and value-for-money service. The Council is looking to engage with organisations that have the capacity, capability, and experience to provide community safety patrol services, support the reduction of anti-social behaviour (ASB), and work collaboratively with the Council and Access Croydon teams to support vulnerable residents and reduce instances of homelessness. This engagement does not form part of any formal procurement process and is intended solely to inform the Council's future commissioning and procurement strategy. Service Requirements The Council is considering a borough-wide Patrol and Response Service comprising four separate but interconnected service areas. The successful provider will be expected to demonstrate experience in delivering comparable services and hold accreditation under the Security Industry Authority (SIA) Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS), or an equivalent recognised industry accreditation demonstrating compliance with industry best practice. The Council is not currently proposing to allow subcontracting of any part of the service. Service Area 1: Environmental Patrols A proactive and responsive patrol service tasked by Council officers to patrol identified priority locations ("red zones") and areas within the borough where environmental issues require management and enforcement support. The service will include: • Daytime and out-of-hours patrols. • Patrols within parks, open spaces, town centres, and other identified locations. • Reporting of environmental concerns and incidents. • Engagement with residents and visitors. • Support for Council-led environmental initiatives. Service Area 2: Estates Anti-Social Behaviour Patrols A proactive patrol service tasked by the Council's Safer Communities Team and focused on Council-managed housing estates. The service will include: • Visible reassurance patrols. • Early intervention and engagement with residents. • Identification and reporting of ASB incidents. • Gathering intelligence to support Council enforcement activity. • Partnership working with housing and community safety teams. Service Area 3: Noise, Nuisance and Anti-Social Behaviour Response Service A reactive patrol and response service responding to reports from residents regarding: • Noise nuisance. • Environmental nuisance. • Anti-social behaviour. • Neighbourhood disputes where appropriate. • Community safety concerns requiring an on-site response. The provider will be expected to gather evidence, provide incident reports, and work collaboratively with Council officers to support... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/pre-engagement-for-the-provision-of-community-safety-patrolling-and-response-services-ocds-h6vhtk-078926) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planning - **CPV codes:** 75000000, 75200000, 75241000, 79710000 - **Delivery regions:** UKI - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Contract Period:** 31/03/2027 to 31/03/2031 ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F097768-2026) - **Last Source Update:** 2026-10-16T09:22:22.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-21T07:11:05.884Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-078926
