## Summary

The University of Southampton is seeking to procure outsourced security services under a selective procurement method, specifically a restricted procedure above the threshold. The contract is valued at £10,500,000, with a minimum value of £9,100,000, and the awarded contract period is set to run from 3rd September 2022 to 2nd September 2027. The tender process has already been completed, with the award published on 19th April 2022, and the contract will be delivered at various university sites located in the South East region of England.

This contracting opportunity presents significant avenues for growth, particularly for security service providers interested in large contracts within the education sector. Businesses that specialise in comprehensive security solutions, including campus safety and concierge services, would be particularly well-suited to compete, especially those that can demonstrate a strong commitment to customer service and proactive security management in an academic environment.

## Notice

The University Security Service is responsible for security at all sites which are owned by or leased by the University. However, the Service also extends to other sites and properties, which may, from time to time, be used by the University in pursuance of its activities. The teams who provide security in halls and the library are responsible for evening and weekend concierge services. The aim of the University's overall Security Service is to: * Prevent unauthorised access to University premises. * Protect life and limb of all persons on the premises. * Protect University property and all other property on University premises. * Protect confidential and sensitive information. * Maintain an efficient security structure based on prevention of problems and attacks. * Maintain a level of security consistent with the academic freedom in an environment of learning. * To provide a first point of contact for students at reception points in line with the University's customer service expectations. * To provide an approachable, professional, and above all, customer-focused service at all times.
