This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses within the security services industry. SMEs, in particular, will find this procurement suitable, as it encourages their participation. Companies with expertise in delivering high-quality security solutions, including static and ad hoc guarding, commissionaire services, and risk management, are well-positioned to compete. The focus on compliance with the Private Security Industry Act 2001 further highlights the need for firms with a strong regulatory track record and excellence in service delivery. Engaging with this contract could enhance a firm's market presence, foster long-term collaborations, and leverage business capabilities across the Greater Manchester area. ## Notice Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM), is seeking to engage with the market to procure a suitably experienced and capable Security Service Provider to deliver a comprehensive range of services across the TfGM estate. The required disciplines include key holding, alarm response, opening and locking of premises, static and ad hoc manned guarding, and commissionaire services. Most of these services will be delivered on a call-off basis, with a primary focus on safeguarding TfGM staff, assets, and customers, and deterring anti-social behaviour and violence, in full compliance with the Private Security Industry Act 2001 (PSIA) and all relevant legislation. The Service Provider will be expected to provide high-calibre, appropriately licensed personnel, including trained commissionaires to support front-of-house operations at the head office outside of core hours, ensuring consistency and professionalism. Working under the direction of Facilities Operations Managers, the Service Provider will deliver services such as lone worker support, vacant property inspections, eviction support (including potential K9 requirements), and key holding. A proactive, collaborative approach is essential, with a clear emphasis on risk management, continuous improvement, and the consistent delivery of high-quality, compliant services aligned with defined performance standards.
