Security Services and Surveillance Solutions Supplier Pre-Market Engagement Webinar - Wed 7 Oct 2026 at 10am
With violence against staff rising across the NHS and wider public sector, demand for effective security services and surveillance solutions has never been more important. We want to hear from your organisation to utilise your expertise, insights and innovations to help shape a framework agreement that responds to real operational challenges and supports safer environments for staff, patients, service users and the public.
Market research analysis highlights the UK Public Sector Spend on Security Services and Products (Excluding IT Security) is estimated to be:
- Public‑sector security total £4B – £7B
- NHS share (25–35%) £1.2B – £2.2B, within this:
- Guarding & on-site services, 50–70%, £0.7B – £1.5B
- Surveillance (CCTV etc.), 20–30%, £0.3B – £0.6B
- Access control & other systems, 10–20%, £0.1B – £0.4B
- With an expected spend increase on these services within the NHS over the next two years is estimated to be between 3-5%.
This session will provide an early view of NHS SBS’s initial framework agreement scope, including the structure, compliance requirements, and key commercial and service deliverables we are currently developing.
This framework is designed to meet the ongoing demand for your customers for procuring security services and surveillance solutions, primarily within the NHS, but also across the wider public sector. This webinar will provide the opportunity to help tailor this framework agreement to help meet your customers’ demands. During the session, we’ll explore:
- What the proposed framework agreement could mean for your organisation and your customers and how it may support future security services and surveillance solutions requirements.
- How market feedback is shaping the framework agreement design.
- How NHS SBS is considering key priorities such as sustainability, service quality, value for money and ease of use.
There will also be a chance to ask questions, share your views and help influence the final framework agreement before formal procurement commences.
