Professional Security Secures Place on NHS Shared Business Services Framework for Security Services.

Professional Security are proud to announce that we have been named as an approved supplier on the NHS Shared Business Services (NHS SBS) ‘Security Services, CCTV & VSS’ framework agreement.

Created in 2004 by the Department of Health and Social Care, the NHS SBS is the country’s leading supplier of corporate services to the NHS. They manage over 40 framework agreements covering a wide range of clinical and corporate goods and services.

In line with our strategy of partnering with ethically aligned clients, NHS SBS is dedicated to being a force for good, with a strong commitment to responsibility and sustainability at every level—organisational, team, and individual. This shared commitment resonates with us as a supplier, aligning with our own social value goals and reinforcing our mutual values, sense of purpose, and dedication to service excellence.

Nick Verburg, Head of Category Management, says, “NHS SBS are excited to bring this new framework agreement to market. It has been developed to provide the NHS with a full scope of security services including; guarding services, CCTV, VSS, consultancy, lone working devices and security alarms”. Part of our evaluation process measured the ability of bidders to tackle modern slavery in their supply chain and provide apprenticeships through the delivery of the framework agreement, so approved organisations using it will benefit from working with suppliers who are committed to delivering social value.

The framework agreement has been developed with a regional structure to facilitate both national and SME suppliers, we are delighted to see a blend of awarded suppliers to provide a choice of solutions for the NHS”.

Martin Leeder, Guarding & Events Director at Professional Security, commented “We are proud to be included in this framework agreement, which reflects the strength of our connected and transformative security solutions that are setting new standards across various sectors. Our values closely align with those of NHS SBS, and this award underscores our shared commitment to excellence. We look forward to making a meaningful impact and I would like to thank our dedicated team for the award”.
