Scope
Description
Solihull Council would like to procure a specialist property 'Target Hardening' service for individuals / families at risk of domestic abuse.

Each security package will be based on a risk assessment that reflects the type and condition of the property, and the needs and circumstances of those whom will be residing in the property.
The successful provider will then be responsible for providing security products which meet the appropriate quality standards, and installing these products within the home.
