Tender description

Lot 1: DWP requires the Security Technical Advisor to provide advisory services in relation to the design and installation across the DWP Estate of security systems and equipment. Following award of the contract the supplier was instructed by another part of DWP to employ increased staff resource to deliver the CSI Programme. The CSI programme, formerly Transformation, is an upgrade of all the electronic security systems currently deployed across the DWP Estate that need replacing due to the age of the existing equipment. The CSI programme is being delivered under the DWP Estates Security Services Contract. The existing STA were asked to undertake the role of Regional Programme Managers and to attend all site surveys in person, across all 605 DWP sites in scope of CSI. In addition, they were asked to undertake the production of the finalised security drawings. None of this increased involvement or additional resource was envisaged at time of tender.
