Purpose

This decision has been taken because the
current Security Contract is set to expire. A new Contract is
necessary as the Councils Security needs have changed and these
need to be captured under the new Contract. The current contract
only covers the provision of security staff for North Bridge Depot
and the One Stop Shop in the Civic Office. Following spend analysis
in Atamis by Procurement, it has been identified that other Service
Areas are frequently using the
current provider for security services. After communication from
Procurement the permanent requirements have been identified and
incorporated into a specification for the new tender
opportunity.
