## Summary

The Home Office is conducting a procurement process for the provision of physical security guarding services, with a total budget of £3,000,000. The procurement is currently in the Award stage following the completion of the tender process, which had an end date of 31 March 2019. The contract will cover services across the United Kingdom, including British Overseas Territories and the Channel Islands, starting from 1 April 2019 and ending on 31 March 2020. The procurement was initiated under the category of security services (CPV code: 79710000) and is being facilitated through a contract extension method.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in security services, particularly those offering manpower for static security and emergency response. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete, especially those with capabilities to deliver services across various locations in the UK. With a focus on both static and mobile security support, companies with a background in emergency services and security personnel provision may find this an appealing contract to pursue, potentially helping them to expand their operational reach and enhance their service offerings.

## Notice

The Contractor will be responsible for providing security guarding services for in-scope UK premises as follows: Static security service: The Contractor will supply staff to perform the duties of static security officers. The requirement is to provide static security officers, who may either be required to work in premises where no Authority security personnel are present or be required to supplement Authority security personnel. Key holding and emergency response service: The Contractor will supply staff to respond to intruder alarm activations and other emergency situations, on an ad hoc and as instructed basis. Emergency response service: Additional emergency resource service. Where unstaffed premises are subject to temporarily increased risk, the Authority may require mobile security patrols or Static Security Services to supplement electronic security systems. The Contractor will supply staff to respond to such requests, on an ad hoc and as instructed basis. Additional information: The Authority is preparing to conduct a procurement competition for provision of these services from April 2020 onwards. The competition is currently expected to commence in Q2 2019. Further detail can be found at the link above.
