## Summary

The Gloucestershire County Council is running a public procurement process titled "Security and Key Holding Services," aimed at setting up a framework for security services. This framework is set to commence on 1st August 2021 and will serve not only the council itself but also other public bodies, district authorities, and schools within Gloucestershire. The procurement method is an open procedure, with the tender period closing on 22nd March 2021. The estimated value of the contract is £400,000, and the contract duration is from 1st August 2021 to 31st July 2024, covering various services such as annual key holding, emergency responses, and security services for unoccupied sites across 159 corporate properties in the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in security services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies that offer comprehensive security solutions, including emergency response and key holding services, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this process not only allows businesses to partner with a major local authority but also enhances their visibility within the public sector, potentially leading to future contracts with other public bodies utilising the framework established by the Gloucestershire County Council.
