Security Services to Community Sites

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde · All their open notices

What this is

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde seeks a sole supplier for security services across ~100 community sites in six HSCP areas: key holding, first-keyholder alarm response within one hour, and ad-hoc manned guarding (open/close, patrols and caretaker-style duties like gritting and bins on a short-hour model — 1-2 hour assignments across the city, early mornings and late evenings). All officers must be SIA-licensed and site-trained. 36 months + 2x12-month options (60 total); the sector is treated as at risk of serious organised crime, so Police Scotland vetting and enhanced pass/fail criteria apply. Shortlist limited to 5 at 80%+ SPD score.
