Choosing a security provider requires more than comparing costs and promises. This practical framework helps procurement, facilities and security professionals assess providers consistently, verify essential accreditations, score tender responses, set measurable service standards and recognise potential warning signs.

Download your copy to make a more informed, evidence-based decision and select a provider with the credentials, capability and accountability your organisation needs.


What Does the Framework Cover?

Essential Accreditations Checklist
A pass/fail checklist of the minimum standards a provider must meet, including NSI Gold, SIA Approved Contractor status, SafeContractor compliance and staff it employs directly.

Tender Evaluation Scoring Matrix
Suggested weightings for comparing bids, with the most weight on accreditation and the staffing model, followed by insurance, account management, mobilisation, cost and references.

Performance KPIs for the Contract SLA
Measures to build into the contract from the start, such as response times, guard retention, training compliance, reporting speed and client satisfaction.

Red Flags in Proposal Responses
Warning signs to watch for in bids, such as vague accreditation or insurance claims, agency staffing, no SLA framework, missing named references and prices that look too low.
