Summary of the contracting process

The Arts Council of England is seeking to establish a Framework Agreement for Security Consultants to provide ad-hoc security and risk assessments under the Government Indemnity Scheme. The tender, titled "Security Consultants Framework Agreement," falls under the investigation and security services category and is located in the United Kingdom. The procurement process is currently active, with a budget of £300,000 (excluding VAT) for the initial term, which runs from 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2023, with the option for two twelve-month extensions. The procurement follows an open procedure, allowing for wide participation.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in security consulting. Businesses specialising in risk assessments, asset protection, and related advisory services would find themselves well-positioned to compete for this framework. The requirement for a named Security Consultant with prior experience in security, policing, or military sectors highlights the need for qualified firms that can demonstrate strong communication skills and an understanding of multifaceted risk factors.
