Maximising Quality, Minismising Risk
– Do You Buy Up to a Quality or Down to a Price?

The procurement of private security services is too frequently based upon price rather than quality. Today, we believe security should be viewed as a business critical service that is valued as highly as communications services and data security. All company directors have a legal obligation under corporate governance to ensure that all the organisation’s assets are adequately protected. Therefore, security should form an integral component of an organisation’s risk management strategy. Every business should seek to forge a more responsible and professional relationship with its security supplier. Security requirements and contingency plans should be agreed and negotiated in a cooperative rather than competitive relationship. The APPROVED CONTRACTOR SCHEME aims to facilitate a continuing program of positive change within an increasingly vital service industry. To reap the full rewards, buyers must now recognise the investment that has been made to provide a more capable and professional security industry. It is in everybody’s interest that, when it comes to security, quality takes priority.

It is estimated that there are well over 4,000 security companies in England and Wales

- of these just 650 nationally have achieved Approved Contractor Status.

Of these 47 operate in the North West although only 33 are based in the area.

In the whole of Greater Manchester there are only 7 local companies that are approved by the SIA.
