In plain English
The British Council is looking for a security company to guard their offices and teaching centres in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The work includes on-site security staff, access control, visitor management, patrols, and emergency response across both locations, running 24/7 in shifts.
What the buyer wants
• Provide trained security personnel on-site at both locations with continuous shift coverage • Manage access control, visitor check-in/check-out, and site patrols • Respond to security incidents and emergencies • Manage and supervise security staff, including training and backup resources • Maintain compliance with British Council standards and local regulations
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: This contract is based in Vietnam (Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City), so you must have an established presence, team, or partner in Vietnam to deliver on-site security services; UK-only security firms will struggle unless they have overseas operations or a local subcontractor already lined up.
Always check the tender documents.
