## Summary

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office has completed the procurement process for the provision of Ad Hoc Security Services at the British Embassy in Vienna. This contract, which falls within the security services industry category (CPV: 79710000), was awarded to SECA Security GmbH following an open procurement method. The contract period commenced on 1st June 2022 and will continue until 31st May 2025. The tender was officially closed on 18th March 2022, with the incumbent provider's contract set to expire shortly before this date.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in security services, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are capable of providing trained and experienced personnel. Companies that can offer part-time static security, manage site access, and support events at the embassy level would be well-positioned to compete in future tenders of this nature. The requirements for specific training and fluency in English further highlight the need for specialised services, creating a competitive landscape for qualified service providers.

## Notice

The British Embassy Vienna was seeking a suitably trained and experienced part time static security guard to control access and prevent unauthorised access to the site, and work alongside the Embassy in-house security team in order to cover for leave as well as occasionally provide extra support for large events and occasional evening events. Specific training and understanding of English was required. Current contract with incumbent provider is planned to expire on 31st May 2022.
