Public contracts won

Expedient Security Limited has one public sector contract award on record (2025). Source: Contracts Finder and Find a Tender award notices. For all of them the published figure is a shared or multi-year ceiling (a framework place, a multi-supplier award, or more than a small company could hold alone), so no value is shown.

Filing notes for property development companies

Many property development companies are single-project vehicles. Stock of land and buildings sits on the balance sheet as work in progress until sale, and a company that has finished its project may become dormant rather than close.
