    Brief

    The British Embassy in Buenos Aires seeks qualified security guarding contractors to provide 24/7 protection across two locations: the Ambassador's Residence and the Embassy Office. At the Residence, one static security officer is needed to work two 12-hour rotating shifts (07:00-19:00 and 19:00-07:00) performing control room duties, visitor and contractor security checks, and regular internal and perimeter searches. At the Embassy Office, one fully trained security guard is required to provide weekday coverage Monday to Thursday 08:00-18:00 and Friday 08:00-14:30, excluding approved holidays. Suppliers should be experienced in diplomatic security, access control procedures, and facility protection. This is a critical security function requiring professional, trained personnel with appropriate background clearance for working at a government diplomatic facility.
