Disaster and emergency response; 7. incident reporting; 8. Crime prevention; 9. Police liaison; 10. Reporting and administration; 11. Authority staff matters and awareness; 12.

The provision of the Security Service which is supportive of, and enhance the diverse core services associated with, the Authority's property portfolio; 2. Provision of a quality Security Service which represents value for money without compromising on quality and service delivery; 3. A transparent service provision in terms of both task delivery and cost; 4. The provision of continuity of service, processes, systems and procedures across all properties; 5. A consistent service delivery across the Authority's diverse property portfolios; 6. A partnership approach with the Authority's other outsourced and directly delivered FM contracts that deliver an integrated FM service provision; 7.

The Authority is looking for a Service Provider who can deliver the above objectives within a healthcare environment, and who will embrace and work in partnership with the Authority and its wider stakeholders, tenants and clients, so future aspirations can be exceeded. The Authority's Car Parking Service, currently being delivered as a combined contract service model is being procured as separate tender to this Security Service tender. Although there is a possibility that the same organisation may be awarded both the Security Services Contract and the Car Park Management Services Contract for the Watford Hospital Site - bidders for each procurement are required to sign up to an interface agreement which will govern the terms of any interface issues between both contracts. A copy of this interface agreement will be provided as part of the legal documents on each procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/29bac7c8-20e1-4734-90fb-6b72332770b6 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Feb 2022 | | Submission deadline | 4 Mar 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Dec 2022 - 30 Nov 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £9,500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WEST HERTFORDSHIRE TEACHING HOSPITALS NHS TRUST | | Locality | WELWYN GARDEN CITY | | Post town | St Albans | | Postcode | AL8 6NS | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH2 Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLH26 North and East Hertfordshire | | Local authority | Welwyn Hatfield | | Electoral ward | Handside | | Westminster constituency | Welwyn Hatfield | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79710000 - Security services ## Release History - 25 Feb 2022 at 14:05 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/29bac7c8-20e1-4734-90fb-6b72332770b6 - 1 Feb 2022 at 12:55 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6be4ef3d-fd45-4eea-9aef-6f72354392f8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/29bac7c8-20e1-4734-90fb-6b72332770b6 25th February 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6be4ef3d-fd45-4eea-9aef-6f72354392f8 1st February 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://atamis-1928.cloudforce.com/sfc/p/0O000000rwim/a/8d000000HP8P/gXSsezXo5fU77aLl0tknofheLTfjV.NAMms7QqzCdlY Portal Information ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
