Description

West London NHS Trust is looking for a provider to supply Security Support Staff for its Broadmoor Hospital site. The appointed provider will be expected to provide staff to support existing security staff in the management of the Broadmoor hospital site during an ongoing construction programme. Staff will be assigned to act as contractors' escorts or access control security operatives. At present the secure perimeter of the Broadmoor site includes both the old and new parts of the site. Whilst the secure perimeter incorporates both old and new sites the supplier will be expected to provide security escorts for contractors working within the secure perimeter. The Trust currently anticipates that in September 2021 it will be possible to separate the old and new sites. At this point the secure perimeter will only be required to incorporate the new site and the need for contractors' escorts will diminish. In addition to contractors' escorts the provider will also be expected to supply guards to undertake access control services, including entry searching. For this category of guards the Trust requires that the provider supply a ratio of 2:1 male:female operatives in order to allow for gender specific level one searching. The Trust's requirements for the number of staff will fluctuate as it is linked to the construction programme and number of contractors on site. Between the services commencement date and September 2021 the Trust anticipates a regular requirement for 8-10 contractors' escorts and 3 access control operatives but numbers will fluctuate and be confirmed on a weekly basis. All staff placed for work on the site must possess a satisfactory enhanced disclosure barring service certificate, current SIA (or equivalent) licence and complete the Trust's induction training before they can come within the secure perimeter. Documents relating to this tender can be accessed by logging onto www.lppsourcing.org and search for the opportunity by it's or Trust's name.
