Security Staffing and Associated Services

This framework allows members to appoint an outsourced provider for manned guarding, patrol, CCTV monitoring, emergency response etc. needs around site/campus.

The framework is split into 13 regional lots and a national lot. The Security Staffing and Associated Services framework was designed based on suppliers being competent in mandatory services such as:

• Manned Guarding Services
• Mobile Security Patrols
• Key Holding & Alarm Response
• Locking and Unlocking Services

Members can also purchase the following services through this Security Staffing and Associated Services framework:

• Remote CCTV Monitoring and Management
• Event Security
• Canine Detection Service
• Security Review & Consultations
• Security Screening Applications

This framework DOES NOT cover products and/or installation of security products. Please see the Security Systems framework for these requirements.

Please note: Icon Group Services Limited are in liquidation, and have been suspended from the framework indefinitely.

The framework allows members to engage quickly with competent, capable, and committed suppliers for the delivery of their Security Staffing & Associated Services contract. 

Buyers calling off from this framework will either: 

• Look to enter into a contract with a single supplier capable of delivering their entire security staffing and associated services requirements over multiple years (commonly 3 with optional extensions up to 5 years)
• Call off for an individual stand-alone service

Important Procurement Act 2023 requirement

It is very important for CPC members to register on the new Find a Tender Service to create your organisation’s unique procurement identifier, known as an API Key. You then need to add the API Key to your profile on our MultiQuote eSender portal to run compliant mini competitions for our frameworks. It is a requirement under Procurement Act 2023 that relevant notices are published to the Find a Tender Service and MultiQuote can only publish your notices if you have added your API Key. See our Find a tender service registration web page for a step-by-step guide on how to register.

The CPC Quote Tool makes it easy to perform and manage a further competition exercise on this Framework. It's free to use for all our members and offers quick, compliant access to all suppliers on purchases that fall below £207,720.00
