Services · Open · European procedure
01What is being requested
Provision of integrated security services (object security, access control, surveillance, alarm response, and traffic controllers) at the locations of ESH and ISH for a period of 4 years (starting September 1, 2026), with four option years.
The assignment concerns the provision of integrated security services at the school locations of ESH and ISH. Security guards act proactively and de-escalatingly with a focus on: • professional, service-oriented attitude; • clear and respectful communication (EN/NL); • appropriate interaction with students, parents, staff, and visitors; • sound knowledge of the premises, buildings, and processes.
02Strategic insight
Focus strongly on the qualitative components, as the open questions and the presentation together determine 60 out of 100 points. Ensure a very concrete transition plan and a methodology for ensuring familiar faces at the locations. Verify whether multilingualism (EN/NL) and the specific requirements for alarm response (SLA percentiles) are fully covered in the references.
