SIA licensing for all frontline operatives is a legal requirement, and SIA Approved Contractor Scheme status is very commonly a condition of bidding. Add BS 7499 for static guarding, BS 7858 for screening, NSI or SSAIB approval for CCTV and alarm systems, and enhanced DBS for education and health settings. Real Living Wage accreditation increasingly scores in evaluation.
Guarding contracts are usually let for three to five years with extension options, often bundled into wider facilities management packages. Systems work — CCTV and access control — is more commonly procured as discrete capital projects or through technology frameworks.
It is not a legal requirement to trade, but a large share of public tenders make it a pass/fail selection criterion. Without it you will be excluded from many opportunities before evaluation begins.
Incumbent staff usually transfer under TUPE, and buyers provide anonymised employee liability information during the tender. Price your bid against that data, not against a fresh recruitment assumption — this is the most common costing error in the category.
