Buying and Running the Guarding Contract
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
Most guarding is bought, not built. A client signs a contract with an agency, and from then on the quality of security depends on what that contract says and how well both sides run it. A vague contract bought on lowest price usually ends in empty posts, unpaid guards and a blame game after the first serious incident.
This module is written for both sides of the table: the client's security or facility manager who buys guarding, and the agency manager who sells and delivers it. Each needs to understand the other's view.
Focus: decide what you need, describe it clearly, choose on value and compliance, write fair terms, and manage the contract every month.
Learning objectives
- Compare in-house, contract and mixed guarding.
- Write a clear scope of work.
- Run a fair tender and compare bids on wages, overheads and margin, not on price alone.
- Set service levels, penalties and audits that improve service rather than punish guards.
- Explain who can be held liable when a guard harms someone.
- Carry out due diligence on agencies, sub-contractors and clients.
