Tender description

Contract for the Provision of Security Services to the London Borough of Camden The London Borough of Camden are inviting tenders for the provision of security services. It is anticipated that a single provider will be appointed to delivery these services. This procurement will be carried out using the open tender procedure. Minimum conditions for selection criteria and tender documentation will be published in the council’s e-tendering system EU Supply. This is a high profile project for the Contracting Authority. All minimum selection criteria (defined in contract notice/advert) must be met by the provider. The Contracting Authority may subsequently seek further information or assurances from the provider with regard to the contract, such as requesting a Parent Company Guarantee (PCG) or other relevant financial bond evidence of ability to deliver the contract. Further clarifications or requirements may be considered in the tender stage to ensure that any prevailing issues identified can be monitored between parties. Submissions that do not meet all of the minimum financial threshold criteria will not be considered for the selection criteria stage. Submissions that do not meet the minimum selection threshold will not be considered for tender evaluation (award). ALL communication regarding the tender process must be via the procurement department and must be directed through the messages tab in the system in order to have full record of all communication. We will answer all questions or clarifications as soon as possible and where appropriate all questions and answers will be shared with all bidders.
