What the buyer wants

Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
A business without SIA-licensed staff, BS 7858 vetting processes, 24/7 response capacity and sufficient insurance cover for the lot it bids for would most likely be ruled out, as would any firm unable to show recent experience in residential or housing security.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
