In plain English

Kent County Council is hiring a supplier to provide trained traffic control operatives (Community Safety Accreditation Scheme accredited) to manage traffic disruption on Kent roads, especially around the ports and the M20 motorway, as part of their border management plan. The supplier may also need to provide security-trained staff and general site marshals if off-highway locations are used.

What the buyer wants

• Supply CSAS (Community Safety Accreditation Scheme) accredited operatives to direct traffic and manage disruption on the Kent road network, particularly on the M20 (Operation Brock) and around Dover • Provide operatives who hold both CSAS and Security Industry Authority (SIA) accreditation to work at designated off-highway sites if required • Supply non-accredited Traffic Marshals to assist with site management duties at those off-highway locations

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

You will almost certainly be disqualified if your operatives do not hold (or cannot quickly obtain) CSAS accreditation, and you may struggle if you cannot demonstrate experience managing large-scale traffic disruption or access to a pool of trained, accredited personnel ready to deploy on the M20 and at Kent ports.
