What are the different types of Security Tenders?
Key holding & response
Key holding and response involve a security company holding the keys to a client’s property and responding to any alarm activations or emergencies that occur outside of business hours.
This service is particularly important for businesses that operate 24/7 or have valuable assets that require round-the-clock protection.
CCTV Monitoring
CCTV monitoring is another type of security tender. This involves the remote monitoring of client premises through the use of closed-circuit television cameras.
Trained security personnel monitor the cameras from a central control room and can quickly respond to any suspicious activity or incidents that occur.
Front of House Services/Concierge
Front of house services or concierge services involves the provision of a professional and customer-focused security presence at the entrance to a client’s building.
Security personnel are trained to provide a welcoming and informative service to visitors and staff while also maintaining a secure environment.
Mobile Security
Mobile security involves the provision of security personnel and vehicles that patrol a client’s premises or designated area.
This service can be highly effective for businesses with large outdoor areas or events requiring a mobile security presence.
Events
Event security is another type of tender that is commonly used for large-scale public events, such as music festivals or sporting events.
It involves the provision of security personnel, access control, and the management of crowds to ensure a safe and secure environment for all attendees.
Cyber
Cyber security is an increasingly important area of security tender, with the rise of cyber threats and data breaches.
Cyber security tenders can involve the provision of IT security services, risk assessments, and vulnerability testing to ensure that client systems are secure from cyber-attacks.
Vacant Property
Vacant property security involves the provision of security services for properties that are unoccupied or undergoing renovation.
Security personnel ensure that the property is secure and free from unauthorised access, vandalism, or theft.
Site/Manned Guarding
Site/manned guarding is a broad category of security tender that involves the provision of security personnel to guard a client’s premises or site.
This can involve access control, surveillance, and the management of any security incidents that occur.

I can not recommend BWS highly enough. Our first call with Luke was professional and built an immediate trust in the business.

We are now going to have a conversation about building a bid library and them becoming our exclusive supplier.
