04CCTV and alarm contracts: common questions
How many CCTV and alarm tenders are live in the UK?
19 right now, from 18 public buyers, with 6 closing in the next 14 days. We bring together notices from Find a Tender and Contracts Finder and refresh this page every hour.
What do buyers ask for in CCTV and alarm contracts?
Few notices state a minimum turnover; it is usually set out in the tender documents. The insurance named most often is employer's liability at around £5m. Most requirements sit in the tender documents rather than the notice, so check the pack before you bid.
Can a small business win CCTV and alarm contracts?
Often, yes. 7 of the 19 live tenders in the UK are marked by the buyer as suitable for small businesses, and 3 are frameworks or dynamic purchasing systems (approved supplier lists that buyers then order from). Smaller lots and lower-value contracts are usually the best place to start. Check the minimum turnover and insurance first, as those are the checks that rule most bids out.
05Expert notes: Security & fire
Guarding contracts usually require SIA-licensed staff and often SIA Approved Contractor status. For CCTV, alarms and fire systems, buyers commonly look for NSI or SSAIB approval, or BAFE for fire. Check these early: they take months to get.
