In plain English
Solihull College and University Centre is tendering a contract for outsourced security and concierge services across all its campuses. The successor contract would start on 1 June 2027, when the current contract ends on 31 May 2027, and it would work alongside the College's in-house Security Team. The estimated value is £1,160,000.
What the buyer wants
• Provide a safeguarding-led security partner that delivers a robust and seamless security and concierge service across all campuses from 1 June 2027 • Keep continuity of approved officers so the same trusted staff are consistently available • Provide prompt cover at short notice and a dependable out-of-hours response
Requirements
Named in the buyer's notice:
- Safeguarding Trained
What could rule a small business out: The notice sets no explicit eligibility criteria, but the £1.16 million multi-campus scope and the requirements for continuous approved officers, short-notice cover and dependable out-of-hours response would most likely rule out small firms without multi-site capacity and a large pool of trained staff.
Always check the tender documents.
