TENDER: PROCUREMENT OF MANNED SECURITY AT WHITCHURCH HOSPITAL | NHS WALES SHARED SERVICES PARTNERSHIP

Velindre University NHS Trust (the “Trust”) is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced contractor to provide 24/7 manned security services at the former Whitchurch Hospital site.

The site comprises a large, vacant and partially derelict estate, with limited lighting and infrastructure, requiring a continuous and professional security presence to ensure the protection of assets, prevention of unauthorised access, and management of health and safety risks.

The successful contractor will be responsible for delivering a fully managed security service, including (but not limited to):

• Continuous onsite guarding (minimum of two SIA-licensed operatives at all times).
• Routine patrols across buildings, perimeter fencing, and external areas
• Detection, reporting and escalation of incidents
• Response to CCTV activations and alarm notifications
• Monitoring risks such as trespass, vandalism, fire and structural hazards
• Maintaining detailed patrol logs, incident reports, and KPI performance data
• Provision of staffing, welfare facilities, equipment and PPE

Given the nature of the estate, contractors must demonstrate experience of working within high-risk, potentially hazardous environments, including those with structural deterioration and possible asbestos-containing materials, and ensure compliance with all relevant legislation and industry standards.

Suppliers wishing to participate in this procurement must demonstrate that they meet the following minimum requirements:

• Valid SIA licences for all operatives and compliance with relevant legislation and British Standards (including BS7499 and BS7858).
• Adequate Public Liability and Employer’s Liability Insurance
• Experience delivering 24/7 manned security services in similar environments.
• Staff screened to BS7858 and appropriately trained and equipped.
• Ability to operate safely in a hazardous/derelict environment, including provision of RAMS.
• Sufficient staffing capacity and contingency arrangements to maintain continuous service.
• Compliance with exclusion criteria and right-to-work checks.
