BPA: Supply & Installation of Locks & Security Devices

The U.S. Mission to the United Kingdom intends to issue a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for supply and installation of locks and other residential security devices to the U.S Embassy and other locations within the United Kingdom. Only companies or individuals specializing in this field should apply by providing indicative pricing information. The vendor must be able to supply and install door locks, window locks, grilles, doorframe strengthening devices, major door-viewers and letterbox protectors.

Vendor must also be able to provide a 24-hour emergency callout service, attending within the hour when practicable. The Company is to be Police and NACOSS recognized.

Vendor’s employees shall pass security checks by the embassy prior to starting work.
