Anglia Ruskin University is looking for a provider to fulfil their requirement of University Security Services to supplement the in-house team.
Anglia Ruskin University has its own in-house Security Service which operates on a 24/7 daily basis. The structure is based around two separate teams of twelve staff rostered separately at each of our main campuses in Chelmsford and Cambridge covering a 24/7 period.
Whilst the majority of the security function is undertaken by in-house staff the University continues to have a requirement for the provision of some contracted security services, ranging mainly around satellite buildings, planned and ad hoc roster cover, and assistance with events such as Open Days and Graduations.
Additional guarding may also be required on an ad-hoc basis and sometimes at short notice; therefore, a great amount of flexibility will be required to meet with this identified need.
At the time of publishing the documentation, transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) (‘TUPE’) may apply to this contract.
It is a mandatory requirement that individuals undertaking designated activities for the successful Supplier hold the compulsory Security Industry Authority (SIA) Licencing.
During the SQ stage, the intention is to arrive at a Short List of between 5 and 8 for Lot 1 (Security Services) qualified Potential Providers for formal Invitation To Tender (ITT) against the requirement.
The duration of the contract will be for initial period of 36 months, with the option to extend for a further 2 x 12 months (in 12 months increments), subject to satisfactory performance.
Anglia Ruskin University is looking for a provider to fulfil their requirement of University Library Security Services.
The University Library provides customer-focused services to staff, students and approved visitors to the University. This includes the provision of study space within the libraries at Cambridge and Chelmsford until midnight during vacation periods, and extended opening hours throughout semester including 24/7 opening in key assessment periods as informed by the University Library.
This contract is for the provision of concierge-type services alongside security elements. Staff will be based at the Reception Desk and will assist library users with a range of queries about the library, IT support and the University generally, as well as managing access into the library space and regularly patrolling the libraries. Staff will need to have strong interpersonal and customer service skills as well as being literate and numerate and confident with using basic IT applications.
