## Summary

NHS Shared Business Services Limited ("NHS SBS"), in its role as a Public Sector Framework Provider, has completed the procurement process for its "NHS SBS Security Services, CCTV, and VSS Framework". This Framework Agreement, undertaken via an Open Procedure, spans across several specialised lots, focusing on security services. The agreement commenced on 14 October 2024, and it will remain in effect until 13 October 2028, making it a 48-month contract. The procurement covers key areas such as guarding services, security design and assessment, as well as installation and maintenance of CCTV and alarm systems, providing extensive coverage throughout the United Kingdom, including specific regions such as London and the South East. The procurement stage has transitioned from planning and tender to the award of contracts as of 29 April 2025. This framework is suitable for NHS and social care organisations along with other public and private sector bodies authorised by NHS SBS.

This framework presents significant business growth opportunities for organisations involved in security services. By participating, companies can leverage their expertise and capabilities in guarding services, security consultancy, and technical installations, strengthening their presence in the competitive market of public sector security and surveillance services. Suppliers can engage in various lots, each addressing specific requirements from on-site protection to advanced technical installations, catering to both proactive and reactive needs. Businesses committed to sustainability and social values, with a diverse portfolio in security solutions, are well-suited to compete effectively, benefiting from steady demand and strong commercial viability throughout the framework’s duration. This integration can particularly enhance visibility and operational capabilities for both SMEs and larger enterprises, fostering long-term partnerships within the public sector.
