What the notice says

The provision of security services for the British High Commission (BHC) Singapore is critical to the FCDO's operational capability. The BHC Singapore requires a reliable, professional and resilient security guarding service to protect its people, premises, operations and assets. The service will operate within a diplomatic environment and must be capable of responding to a varied and evolving threat context while maintaining appropriate standards of discretion, customer service and operational readiness. The requirement is expected to include routine guarding and access-control duties, effective incident response, support for official events and visits, and the ability to provide additional personnel at short notice.
