Notice Information
Notice Title
Technical Security Maintenance Service
Notice Description
The GPA currently procures maintenance (planned and reactive) services to technical security assets in secure spaces (Intruder alarms, CCTV, access control doors etc.) through a contract with Security Services Group (SSG) which expires on 31 March 2025. The GPA now intends to award a short-term contract to SSG to allow for the provision of this business critical service across London sites due to a proportion of the contract relating to closed protocol assets, which can only be maintained by the incumbent supplier. This will allow the GPA to procure a long-term replacement contract via CCS framework RM6257 (Security - Physical, Technical and Support Services) for the London & South region.
