Tender description

Security and car parking services provision. Chesterfield Royal Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is seeking to establish a manned security contract including car park and traffic management. The Trust is seeking to appoint a professional security team, to deliver both asset and people protection in addition to car parking. The service team will assist in maintaining a safe and secure environment for patients, staff and visitors whilst protecting the Trust's assets, buildings and grounds from loss. The core requirements for the contract relate to the provision of a manned guarding service including internal and external patrols and CCTV monitoring, and supporting car park cash collection and enforcement duties. The Trust requires the provision of high quality cost effective security and car park management services with each element of the service being fully integrated for flexibility and efficient delivery of services. The contract is due to commence on 1.7.2016 and will have an initial 3 year term with an option to extend at the Trusts discretion for up to a further 2 years.
