Security services

Tender description

The English Heritage Trust is a charity that manages 412 historic properties. These properties represent a precious collection of physical remains from a long span of England's history. Ancient Monuments are protected in law, and it is a criminal offence to wilfully damage them. Many of the properties are ruins, and are therefore fragile by their very nature. Many are also unmanned and in rural locations, with obvious implications for security. Others within towns and cities have different security issues. Houses with extremely valuable collections present high security risks. English Heritage is seeking tenders to provide both a Key Holding and Response service at some sites and a Manned Guarding service at some sites. The tender consists of 9 regional lots; North, South East, West, and London and East for the Key Holding and Response; and North, South East, West, London and East and Stonehenge for the Manned Guarding. Tenderers may bid for one or more lots. The contract will be for 3 years commencing 1.4.2016. There will be the option to extend the contract for 2 further 1-year periods.
