Security services

This ESPO framework offers customers a quick, simple and competitive route to purchase a comprehensive range of security services.This page is intended to provide you with an overview of what is available. Please refer to the full User Guide for more information. The framework offers S.I.A. (Security Industry Authority) licensed staff for:

• KEY HOLDING

• MOBILE PATROLS

The framework is available for use nationally by any public sector body in the UK including, but not limited to…

• Schools & Academies
• Local Authority Establishments
• Police & Emergency Services
• NHS & HSC Bodies
• Registered Charities

• It’s FREE - You will not be charged for using this framework.
• Quick & easy to use - This framework has been established via an EU/UK compliant tendering process so it removes the need for you to run a full EU/UK compliant tendering process and it reduces the timescales to put your provisions in place.
• Pre-vetted suppliers with ongoing monitoring - Suppliers listed on the framework were assessed during ESPO’s procurement process for their financial stability, track record, experience and technical & professional ability, before being awarded a place on the framework. The Category Team continue to monitor and check the suppliers on the framework.
• Not Ranked - The suppliers are not ranked and therefore you have the freedom to approach the supplier of your choice without having to go through any sequential order.
• Direct Award - You can place a direct call off order with any supplier on the framework based on the terms outlined in the User Guide and Price Schedule.
• Further Competition - Customers can undertake a further competition amongst the suppliers on the framework and can vary the weightings of the evaluation criteria to suit their requirements – even appointing suppliers only by evaluating price.
• Pre-agreed conditions - No need to worry about what terms & conditions to use. Each order that is put through the framework is underpinned by a call-off contract that has been pre-agreed at tender stage. The call-off contract can be supplemented by your own terms and conditions should you wish to include them.
