Details

The Council requires a Security Provider to deliver manned security guard services across four Durham County Council depot sites: Chilton Depot, Hackworth Depot, Meadowfield Depot and Morrison Busty Depot. The service requirements and working hours vary between each site and may be subject to change during the term of the contract. The successful Contractor must therefore have the capacity and flexibility to provide appropriate cover at each depot as required. Full tender documents can be accessed free of charge by registering as a Supplier on the Open Portal at www.open-uk.org.

Documents

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this facility management & cleaning opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
