Published requirement description

Submissions are being sought from experienced and highly professional companies for

the provision of security and stewarding for events. In summary the requirement is for a

combination of stewards including those which are SIA licenced, event managers,

supervisors, event controllers and overnight security. Events are all subject to change,

and it is also possible that additional events may be added during the course of the

contract term, where required. This must be considered by Tenderers as part of their

tender submission, and capacity must be available to support additional events.
