## Summary

The British Council is procuring security guarding services for its offices and teaching centres in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The requirement covers onsite security personnel, access control, visitor management, patrolling and incident response, with shift-based coverage to support continuous operations at both locations. The appointed supplier will manage and supervise its security staff, provide training and maintain backup resources. The purpose is to provide a safe, secure and compliant working environment supported by a reliable and experienced security provider. This is a security guarding service requirement, classified under CPV 79713000, rather than a supply of equipment or construction works. Businesses specialising in staffed protective security services are the relevant market.

The procurement reached tender: the British Council invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure. The process has three stages: completeness, exclusion and conditions-of-participation checks followed by an initial tender assessment; a supplier interview and presentation, which is not scored; and best and final tenders. Questions were due by 28 September 2026 at 11:00 UTC, and tenders were due by 19 October 2026 at 11:00 UTC. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2029, with a possible 12-month extension by mutual agreement, to 31 December 2030. Its estimated value is £250,000 excluding VAT, or £275,000 including VAT. Evaluation weighting is 45% technical, 45% commercial and 10% social value.

This opportunity suits established security guarding companies able to deploy trained onsite personnel in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City and provide dependable shift-based coverage across both sites. Suppliers should be able to operate access-control and visitor-management arrangements, conduct regular patrols, respond effectively to incidents and support continuous day-to-day security operations. The requirement also favours providers with the management capacity to supervise deployed teams, deliver staff training and maintain suitable backup resources when required. Relevant experience in delivering reliable, compliant guarding services for offices, teaching centres or comparable occupied premises would be valuable. Businesses considering the opportunity should be prepared to demonstrate the operational resilience, workforce management and service standards needed to support the British Council’s requirements across both Vietnamese locations.
