2627-0252 Security and Associated Services

Description

The London Borough of Islington is preparing to procure a new contract for the provision of security and associated services across Council buildings and other locations. The anticipated core requirement includes static guarding, front of house and reception security, access control, key holding and alarm response, planned and reactive mobile patrols, CCTV monitoring, emergency response, and planned and ad-hoc security and guarding, including event and civic security support and door supervision where required. As part of developing the future service, the Council is exploring opportunities to consolidate additional security requirements currently delivered under separate contractual arrangements. This includes: •Security Services at Islington Assembly Hall, including event security, crowd management, door supervision, access control and customer safety functions. The current service supports a range of events including live music, civic, community, and commercial events. •Vacant property Security Services, including securing and protection of vacant Council-owned properties, site inspections, temporary site security arrangements, emergency attendance, property protection measures and associated services. The current service supports the management and safeguarding of vacant sites pending disposal, redevelopment or reoccupation. The final scope and service delivery model are yet to be determined and will be informed through stakeholder engagement and preliminary market engagement. The Council is particularly interested in understanding whether the requirements would be best delivered through a single contract or through separate lots. In line with the Council's objectives, the Council is committed to reducing barriers to entry and encouraging a diverse and competitive marketplace. The Council therefore welcomes feedback from organisations of all sizes, including SMEs and local suppliers. The estimated value of the proposed contract has not yet been finalised. However, based on current projections and anticipated service requirements, the total contract value over the maximum proposed term of five (5) years is anticipated to be in excess of £7 million.
