Planning your service
How is the guarding specification agreed?
We discuss the premises, working hours, access arrangements and risks with your team. Site surveys and risk assessments inform the proposed coverage, duties, patrol routes and escalation arrangements.
How will we know what is happening on site?
Reporting arrangements are agreed for the contract. Patrol records, incident reports and management visits support service reviews, with a clear route for raising concerns or requesting a change.
Can you work alongside our existing systems and teams?
We establish the duties and permissions required to work with your site team and existing security arrangements. Any monitoring responsibilities, system access and specialist requirements must be agreed within the assignment.
Can you support a change of provider or several sites?
Yes. We discuss the transition, locations and intended start date, then agree site instructions, staffing and communication arrangements. A dedicated account relationship supports coordination across the contract.
What affects the cost of a security guard contract?
The proposal depends on the number of posts, hours of cover, duties, site location, supervision and any additional training or equipment requirements. Share your specification and preferred start date so we can prepare a scope that reflects the actual assignment.
How do we choose the right security company?
Compare the duties and cover proposed, personnel requirements, supervision, incident reporting and mobilisation plan. Ask how the provider will manage absences, communicate with your team and review performance. Review our accreditations and standards, or see how we organise security at a Lidl distribution centre and security mobilisation at 100 Kensington.
