Procurement of Manned Security at Whitchurch Hospital

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services (hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust)

Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-06ae00

Description

Velindre University NHS Trust (the "Trust") is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced contractor to provide 24/7 manned security services at the former Whitchurch Hospital site.

The site comprises a large, vacant and partially derelict estate, with limited lighting and infrastructure, requiring a continuous and professional security presence to ensure the protection of assets, prevention of unauthorised access, and management of health and safety risks.

The successful contractor will be responsible for delivering a fully managed security service, including (but not limited to):

- Continuous onsite guarding (minimum of two SIA-licensed operatives at all times).

- Routine patrols across buildings, perimeter fencing, and external areas

- Detection, reporting and escalation of incidents

- Response to CCTV activations and alarm notifications

- Monitoring risks such as trespass, vandalism, fire and structural hazards

- Maintaining detailed patrol logs, incident reports, and KPI performance data

- Provision of staffing, welfare facilities, equipment and PPE

Given the nature of the estate, contractors must demonstrate experience of working within high-risk, potentially hazardous environments, including those with structural deterioration and possible asbestos-containing materials, and ensure compliance with all relevant legislation and industry standards.
