C0249 - Provision of Subject Matter Expertise on Security Needs for Council Premises with Guarding Requirements

Birmingham City Council is seeking to engage a Subject Matter Expert on Security Needs and Commissioning with an emphasis on Guarding Requirements for Council Premises from November 2017 to January 2018. Scope of the proposal There are many facets to security; the scope of this review is guarding requirements for Council Premises that have guarding requirements.

The Council is currently developing a Security Strategy for these premises. Our main challenge is to achieve appropriate security arrangements for Council premises at a time of reduced funding.

We are seeking a security subject matter expertise to assess the requirements across a range of premises. You will bring current security sector knowledge, specialise in risk assessment, risk reduction and guarding requirements.

A number of 'products' are required in a relatively short time-scale. We are of the opinion that a range of £15,000 to a maximum of £25,000 would be payable on completion of all products to the required standard.

There are two phases to this work: Phase 1 is an immediate requirement; Phase 2 will be developed from the Phase 1 work and engagement with relevant Council officers. See the quotation documents for more information.

Important Information There are a range of elements to this work; some have strict timescales which are relatively short. Phase 1 completion by - 19th January 2018 Phase 2 completion by - 31st January 2018 All documentation with specific details of Council premises, processes and actions will be owned by the Council and cannot be retained or reproduced by the Contractor; this is due to the potential sensitivity of the information.

The deadline for submitting completed quotations is 1500hrs 17th November 2017 Additional information: If you are interested in tendering please click on the following link to access Birmingham City Council's tender Portal. Delivery Notes Birmingham Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No
