    Brief

    This is an urgent, three-month security services contract to deploy uniformed security personnel in a town centre location. The primary objectives are to provide visible security presence for community reassurance, deter anti-social behaviour, and ensure safe movement of the public through designated transport hubs. Personnel will conduct high-visibility patrols, identify and report security incidents, gather intelligence on local issues, manage safeguarding concerns through proper escalation procedures, and produce management reports. The service requires close coordination and liaison with Essex Police, Essex County Council officers, and other relevant partner agencies. This is a pilot intervention created to address an immediate operational need, with ongoing viability to be assessed following the initial three-month period. Suppliers should be experienced in delivering professional security services in busy public spaces with strong communication and reporting protocols.
