The Royal Agricultural University is issuing a tender for a Security Contract, aimed at providing comprehensive physical security services for the campus as well as occasional off-campus student security. This procurement falls under the services industry category, specifically covering security services (CPV Code: 79710000). The tender is currently in the active stage and was published on 27th August 2021. Interested parties must submit their applications by the deadline of 30th September 2021. The contract period will commence on 15th November 2021 and extend until 15th November 2024, with a total contract value estimated at £120,000.

This tender presents significant business opportunities for suppliers specialising in security services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
