Security Framework

Description

This notice is seeking expressions of interest for the establishment of a Framework Agreement for Security related to: Electronic Security, Physical Security, Fencing & Gates and Manned & Dog Guarding.
For the avoidance of doubt, suppliers DO NOT need to deliver services in all Lots to submit a response to this tender. Suppliers need to deliver services in at least 1 lot to respond to the tender.
This framework agreement is envisaged to be the primary route for selecting suppliers for the delivery of the selected Security services for the duration of the agreement.
Any estimated quantities or values contained or referred to in this or other documentation are for guidance only and do not bind YWS to buy any specific quantities should the bidder be successful and enter into an Agreement.
Procurement Process:
To express an interest in participating in the tender, please contact Judy Chen (judy.chen@yorkshirewater.co.uk) through email by 17:00 (GMT) on 1st November 2024.
Once a bidder expresses an interest, the Invitation to Qualify (ITQ) document pack will be shared with them. This will include the ITQ document that must be completed by all bidders and submitted on Ariba by 1st November 2024. All clarifications should also be submitted on Ariba and can also be emailed to Judy Chen (judy.chen@yorkshirewater.co.uk) by 17:00 (GMT) on 16th October 2024.
YWS will periodically consolidate clarifications that would be relevant to everyone and share the response to these with all bidders anonymously.

Complete Tender Coverage

Following Brexit, the new official Find a Tender system has been developed by UK Government to detail all public procurement contract opportunities expected to be over £122, 976 for Central Government or £189,330 for the remainder of the public sector e.g. NHS contracts, Local Authority contracts, Housing Association contracts. Publishing requirements for all of the public sector are in place to ensure transparency, fairness and open competition.

All UK public sector opportunities under these values, but over £10,000 for central government or over £25,000 for other public sector organisations, are still required to be published on Contracts Finder. Scotland, Wales and NI also have their own dedicated sites: Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales, eSourcing NI and eTendersNI.

Complete Tenders have centralised and consolidated all of this information into a single, easy to use platform that is updated hourly with all new opportunities.
