Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by Anglia Ruskin University, focuses on securing services related to university security and library security under the title “T16/22 - University Security Services”. The tender falls within the security services industry category, with submissions due by 12 noon on 28th February 2017. The contract will commence on 1st August 2017 and run for an initial period of 36 months, with an option for two additional 12-month extensions based on performance. The procurement method employed is a selective, restricted procedure, aimed at narrowing down potential providers through a Selection Questionnaire (SQ) phase that will shortlist between 5 to 8 qualified organisations for further evaluation.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the security services sector, particularly those offering flexible and responsive security solutions. Companies specialising in guard services, patrol services, or concierge-type operations would be well-positioned to compete, especially if they can demonstrate compliance with Security Industry Authority (SIA) licensing requirements. The capacity to fulfil ad-hoc requests and provide support for events like Open Days and Graduations will be advantageous. Firms that are adept in customer service skills and can operate effectively in fast-paced environments, particularly in educational settings, may find this tender particularly appealing.

Additional guarding may also be required on an ad-hoc basis and sometimes at short notice; therefore, a great amount of flexibility will be required to meet with this identified need. At the time of publishing the documentation, transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) ('TUPE') may apply to this contract. It is a mandatory requirement that individuals undertaking designated activities for the successful Supplier hold the compulsory Security Industry Authority (SIA) Licencing.

This includes the provision of study space within the libraries at Cambridge and Chelmsford until midnight during vacation periods, and extended opening hours throughout semester including 24/7 opening in key assessment periods as informed by the University Library. This contract is for the provision of concierge-type services alongside security elements. Staff will be based at the Reception Desk and will assist library users with a range of queries about the library, IT support and the University generally, as well as managing access into the library space and regularly patrolling the libraries. Staff will need to have strong interpersonal and customer service skills as well as being literate and numerate and confident with using basic IT applications.
