Security Framework

Description

This notice is seeking expressions of interest for the establishment of a Framework Agreement for Security related to: Electronic Security, Physical Security, Fencing & Gates and Manned & Dog Guarding. For the avoidance of doubt, suppliers DO NOT need to deliver services in all Lots to submit a response to this tender. Suppliers need to deliver services in at least 1 lot to respond to the tender. This framework agreement is envisaged to be the primary route for selecting suppliers for the delivery of the selected Security services for the duration of the agreement. Any estimated quantities or values contained or referred to in this or other documentation are for guidance only and do not bind YWS to buy any specific quantities should the bidder be successful and enter into an Agreement. Procurement Process: To express an interest in participating in the tender, please contact Judy Chen (judy.chen@yorkshirewater.co.uk) through email by 17:00 (GMT) on 1st November 2024. Once a bidder expresses an interest, the Invitation to Qualify (ITQ) document pack will be shared with them. This will include the ITQ document that must be completed by all bidders and submitted on Ariba by 1st November 2024. All clarifications should also be submitted on Ariba and can also be emailed to Judy Chen (judy.chen@yorkshirewater.co.uk) by 17:00 (GMT) on 16th October 2024. YWS will periodically consolidate clarifications that would be relevant to everyone and share the response to these with all bidders anonymously. Following an assessment of responses received for the ITQ, successful suppliers will be invited to participate in the ITT.
