81675 GLA_ Heritage Warden Services and Supporting Security and Operations Services for the Greater London Authority

This tender is run by Transport for London (TfL) on behalf of the Greater London Authority (GLA).

Heritage Warden Services at Trafalgar Square and Parliament Square Gardens Scope:

The services of a specialist security supplier to provide a comprehensive Heritage Warden Service for the purpose of protecting the national heritage assets on Trafalgar Square and Parliament Square Garden.

Given the nature of the sites the service required is somewhat unique but is akin to a combination of civil enforcement officer services, with security responsibilities.

Supporting Security and Operational Services for the GLA Scope:

Officers supplied to City Hall under this contract would supplement and work alongside the GLA’s own in-house security team, participating in all areas of the operations as needed in periods of demand.

The GLA organises a number of events each year at various venues around London, e.g. the six-monthly People’s Question Time and annual State of London Debate. The supplier would take responsibility for carrying out the pre-event reconnaissance, recommending security staffing levels (which may include bodyguards) and preparing the security plan, risk assessments and method statements as well as providing security services during the event. The contract will be awarded on a no volume of orders guarantee and no-exclusivity basis
