The tender, classified under security services, is situated in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The initial contract duration is for three years, commencing from 1st July 2017, with potential extensions that could extend the contract to a total of five years. The tender period concluded on 17th May 2017, and interested suppliers were required to submit their proposals prior to this deadline. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses looking to expand in the security services sector, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies that specialise in security operations, particularly those with experience in managing multiple locations and providing reliable service, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The successful supplier will not only gain a substantial annual contract valued at £167,000 but will also enhance their portfolio through working with a local council, which could lead to further opportunities in public sector contracts. ## Notice Ashford Borough Council (ABC) is looking to appoint a security service provider with a proven track record to carry out various duties in a diligent and timely manner upholding the professional reputation of the council. Duties are Monday to Sunday and will include but are not limited to: gate opening/closing at various council properties including a multi-storey car park, open car parks, cemeteries and gardens, provision of town centre gatekeeper and release of locked-in vehicles. Multiple locations may require attendance at any one time and therefore it is essential that resources permit this activity. Tenders are invited for an initial contract period of 3 years with the possibility of extending by 1 year with a possible extension of a further 1 year making a total of 5 years.
