The Whitchurch Lane site is wholly owned by BCC. It is shared with Bristol City Council (BCC) tenant, Matthew Clark Bibendum Ltd (MCBL) and BCC’s The Bottle Yard Studios (TBYS). As part of the lease terms negotiated between BCC and MCWL in 2014, MCWL retained the right to provide the manned guarding for the whole site (two guards, 24/7, 365 days/year) with costs shared equally between TBYS

Alternative options considered:

No other options were considered as Mitie Security Services personnel had in-depth knowledge of the site and were entitled to TUPE transfer to the new provider (BCC Security Services).
