Description

The University of Salford owns 2 buildings that are empty, they are not intended to be used and are awaiting potential demolition. Both could be hazardous to anyone that enters them and are deemed unsafe. Currently, both buildings and associated areas are secured with the assistance of a security licensed & trained K9 dog unit comprising of a trained guard and a dog. This is to deter anyone from entering the dangerous environment that both buildings pose to anyone that may enter unnecessarily. Regular patrols are needed to ensure that no access is gained. There are adjacent building works ongoing and the security guard will be expected to guard the materials that are left in the yard area.

We currently have a third-party supplier assisting in guarding the location when the contractors are not on site. The hours include from 1700-0700 hours Mon to Thurs and 1700 Friday to Mon at 0700 hours plus Bank Holidays.
