Security Services Framework 2027-2031

Hampshire County Council is establishing a multi-lot Security Services Framework (2027-2031) to provide comprehensive security services across its diverse property estate and participating public sector organisations. The Framework will cover administrative offices, community facilities, residential care settings, depots, libraries, country parks, specialist facilities and educational establishments across urban, rural and remote locations. The procurement will be structured around geographically-defined lots, with a single supplier appointed to each lot responsible for delivering all security services within that area. The final lot structure will be determined following market engagement. Key services include: static and mobile security guarding; day and night patrols; electronic surveillance and intruder alarm systems; key holding; gate keeping; 24/7 control room operations; CCTV monitoring; event security; access control; emergency response services; lone worker support and welfare monitoring; incident reporting and investigation; and liaison with emergency services. The Framework is designed to provide a flexible, scalable and coordinated security solution that can adapt to varying operational requirements across different site types and locations. Eligible users include local authorities within Hampshire and Isle of Wight, schools, academies, colleges, bordering county councils, cultural trusts, and VCSE organisations.
