Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in security solutions could benefit from such contracts that span multiple regions, providing consistent and long-term revenue streams over the three-year duration of the contract. Partnering organisations like Securitas, the contract's awardee, demonstrate the scale and reliability expected by the FCDO for safeguarding government facilities abroad.
