Description

BCP Council requires a supplier to provide Security, Stewarding and Crowd Management services for the Bournemouth Air Festival.

The supplier will be responsible for providing qualified SIA certified security and competent stewards for a range of roles across the event site to ensure the safe running of the event. They will be responsible for the management of this team whilst onsite and for ensuring the staffing requirements are met.

The contract will be for one year with the option to extend annually for a further four years (1+1+1+1+1). Therefore, if all extensions were taken the full length of the contract would be for five years. The anticipated start date of the contract is February / March 2022.

The Bournemouth Air Festival involves a wide multi agency partnership working and we are looking for a dynamic and proactive security company with extensive Crowd Management experience to continue to deliver a world class safe event. The event attracts an average of 700,000 people across the 4 days with the core event times being 10:00 - 22:00 hours Thursday to Saturday and 10:00 - 18:00 hours on Sunday. The site runs across 1.5 miles on two levels and including an afternoon and evening flying display, ancillary entertainment, military villages, trading, catering and funfair provision.

The supplier is responsible for supplying all security and stewarding personnel for the festival. The supplier will be responsible for providing qualified SIA certified security and competent stewards for a range of roles across the event site to ensure the safe running of the event. They will be responsible for the management of this team whilst onsite and for ensuring the staffing requirements are met

The supplier will be responsible for sourcing radios and ear-pieces for all staff working under them at the event directly from the appointed radio supplier and for the costs incurred for this. No accommodation is provided for security so the supplier is responsible for any accommodation along will all welfare arrangements such as food.

Security requirements will begin from the weekend prior to the event each year, building up to the main requirement over the event. There will be a requirement for a small number of Security to remain until the end of the Tuesday after the event each year.

In addition to the SIA numbers for the event, the council will also require roles to be provided that can deliver as a Security Manager, Radio Controller, Supervisor, Crowd Dynamic Advisor and Search and Security Measures Manager.
