## Description
The successful Supplier will be required to provide a comprehensive security service.
The contract covers the scope for the provision of all security services across the College, which includes external security with the provision of manned guards, and internal security including commissionaire duties.
The contract and service requirement will be split into two Lots:
Lot 1External Security 
Lot 2Internal Security & Commissionaire Duties
Please be aware that the successful Supplier for Lot 1, External Security, will include the provision of Guards to monitor and manage the College’s car park.
The College will have the option to award each Lot individually, or to the same Supplier. Please state clearly within your submission whether you intend to submit for both Lots, or just for one Lot and whichever Lot that may be.
The duration of the contract being offered is for an initial two-year period commencing on 23 August 2026, with the potential to extend for a further two 12-month periods. This extension will be granted by mutual consent and on the same terms and conditions as the original contract without the right to further extend beyond the full four years.
The contract being offered within this tender will be fixed cost and on a guaranteed performance basis, ensuring that the contracted number of security hours are input into the service.
Both services are currently outsourced, and TUPE is expected to apply.
The successful Supplier must ensure that their employees hold a license under the Security Industry Association (SIA):
https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/security-industry-authority

Some Guards will be responsible for operating CCTV, therefore, where required, Guards will need to be trained or have already completed their Level 2 Qualification in CCTV Operations to enable them to be eligible for an SIA CCTV License.
The College is seeking a suitably experienced Supplier who has knowledge of working within the education sector, preferably within inner city schools, to demonstrate the knowledge and understanding of contracts of a similar size and nature.
Ideally, the successful Supplier will have a strong operational base within Birmingham, thus allowing for both adequate contract support and operational flexibility that is required to support the complexities of such a contract, as and when needed.
A robust level of management support must be provided by the successful Supplier to ensure that the detailed specification is delivered within the contract on a consistent basis within the contract period. This management support will ideally have a local presence to ensure reactive measures are immediately available for any escalated responses.
Suppliers expressing an interest must clearly detail their current or intended use of sub-contractors for this contract withi...
