Contracts
Security & emergency services
Public sector contract notices in security & emergency services, from Find a Tender and Contracts Finder.
Security services and equipment, and the equipment bought by the emergency services: manned guarding, key holding and alarm response, security and fire installation, and defence, police and fire equipment. CPV code 7971, division 35, and the fire and security installation codes.
Manned guarding is licensed work, so an SIA licence for the individuals and usually an approved contractor status for the company is the starting point rather than a differentiator. Systems work is normally tied to a recognised scheme, and buyers regularly name one in the notice. Contracts are often site by site or estate wide, and where they replace an incumbent the staffing transfers under TUPE, so the notice's own documents are the place to find what you would be taking on.
