    August 31, 2023

    SecuriPlex (part of the BusinessWatch Group) are pleased to have been awarded a place on ESPO Framework 628_23 Security Surveillance Equipment and Services.

    Services We Offer Under the Framework Include:

    Accessing our services via this framework ensures our clients are procuring services compliantly with procurement regulations and can save them valuable time – offering public sector organisations the benefit of accessing without having to run a full procurement process.

    What’s more, it’s free-to-access and suppliers on the framework were assessed during the procurement process for their financial stability, track record, experience and technical & and professional ability.

    Securi-Plex joins nine other suppliers within this framework, who have been providing services circa £100m over a five year period.

    The demand for integrated security in the public sector has never been higher, particularly as commercial security trends focus heavily on interoperability and AI-driven analytics. According to recent data from the Office for National Statistics, while certain crime categories have stabilised, the need for robust physical security measures remains a priority for local authorities and educational institutions. This framework allows for the seamless implementation of CCTV installation projects that meet the rigorous standards required for public safety.

    By utilising the ESPO framework, public sector bodies can effectively navigate the complexities of UK CCTV regulations while ensuring they receive best-value pricing. This is increasingly important as education security budgets face tighter scrutiny, requiring proven solutions that offer a clear return on investment. Our inclusion in this framework simplifies the path toward upgrading legacy hardware to modern, IP-based systems that offer better resolution and remote management capabilities.

    Why Compliance Matters in 2025

    With the introduction of the Protect Duty (Martyn’s Law), many public venues are now legally required to enhance their preparedness against security threats. Modern access control installation is no longer just about convenience; it is a critical component of a comprehensive safety strategy. For those managing complex sites, managing access control in large commercial premises via an accredited framework like ESPO ensures that all equipment installed is future-proofed and fully compliant with current British Standards.

    Recent reports highlight that the UK security market continues to grow as businesses and public entities transition toward smarter, connected technologies. This shift includes the adoption of remote monitoring for security systems, which provides 24/7 oversight without the need for constant on-site personnel. As part of the BusinessWatch Group, we offer these advanced connected managed services to help organisations reduce operational costs while increasing their overall security posture.

    For healthcare facilities and local councils, the ability to rapidly deploy intruder alarm installation through a pre-vetted supplier eliminates the risks associated with unverified contractors. This peace of mind is further supported by the security system certifications that insurers require, ensuring that all works completed under the framework are of the highest professional grade.
