The Ministry of Justice ('the Authority') has a requirement for a Supplier to undertake covert physical security search testing ('Covert Tests') to verify the current security supplier's ability to appropriately identify a variety of prohibited items (as agreed with 'the Authority) at all HM Courts and Tribunals (HMCTS) entrances across the county (approx 355 sites). The Authority requires Covert Tests to be carried out at 20 sites per month at random and unpredictable locations. The Supplier will be required to provide access to a secure reporting system to provide near real-time reporting of the Covert Tests and provide monthly performance reports utilising the data captured and recommend improvements to processes.
