We deliver specialist security design and consultancy services to NHS and public sector estates, helping clients plan, assess, and implement robust, compliant security measures in complex environments. As an approved supplier on Lot 2 of the NHS SBS Security Services, CCTV & VSS Framework (SBS10502), we provide independent, expert-led support across the full lifecycle of security planning.

Our team includes seasoned security consultants, former police advisors, and risk professionals with extensive experience in healthcare, justice, and critical infrastructure. We understand the unique operational, regulatory, and patient-safety challenges faced by NHS trusts and public bodies — and tailor our advice accordingly.

Our core services include:

  • Security risk assessments in accordance with UK regulations and threat models  
  • Design consultancy for CCTV, access control, physical barriers, and integrated systems  
  • Support for capital builds and refurbishments, ensuring security is embedded from planning stages  
  • Independent contract and system audits, including value-for-money reviews  
  • Training and awareness workshops for estates, FM, and compliance teams

We adhere to current best practice, drawing on UK standards such as ISO 19650 (information management and BIM), BS EN 50132 (CCTV planning and application), and Health Technical Memoranda (HTMs) relevant to healthcare estates — including guidance on fire safety, security systems, and building design.

Our approach is holistic: we combine physical, technical, and procedural security to provide clients with scalable, cost-effective solutions that meet regulatory requirements while protecting people, assets, and data. We are entirely vendor-neutral, meaning our recommendations are always based on need, not product bias.

As threats to NHS estates evolve — from unauthorised access and theft to insider risks and safeguarding vulnerabilities — effective design is the first and most cost-efficient layer of defence. Our services ensure that security investment is justified, proportionate, and defensible under audit.

We’re proud to support the NHS SBS framework with high-quality, independent consultancy. Whether you require a one-off risk assessment, design input for a major capital scheme, or long-term advisory support, we can assist.
