## Summary

Durham County Council is seeking to establish a Framework for Manned Security Guard Services, effective from 1st November 2018 to 31st October 2022, with an option for a two-year extension. The procurement process, which is currently complete, utilised an open procurement method and is classified under the 'Security services' category.
