Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by River Clyde Homes, sought contractors for "Key Holding Services" specifically for properties within Inverclyde. This open tender process was initiated on 27 January 2022, with a submission deadline on 7 February 2022. River Clyde Homes, a public body focused on providing affordable housing amenities, operates from Clyde View, 22 Pottery Street, Greenock, UK. The contract, now awarded, is valued at £120,000 and is primarily classified under services for housing and community amenities.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those providing security and facility management services, to engage in long-term contracts with public sector organisations. Companies that specialise in 24/7 alarm response and key holding services, especially those that are already familiar with compliance requisites like insurance and staff training, would be well-placed to compete. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) within the security industry can benefit from this contract, which aims to enhance community safety initiatives while demonstrating their capabilities in delivering rapid response services.
