BIG THANKS TO The quest for common decency & dignity and honouring our ancient ancestors for this information; The contract for Heritage Warden Services was let to Chubb Security Personnel Limited following a competitive tender exercise in 2006. Authority to carry out the competitive tender and award to the most economically advantageous contractor was given under MA2643 for an initial period of 3-years with the option to extend for 2-years. Chubb Security Personnel Limited have consistently carried out the services required by the contract to an acceptable standard and have been consistent in the quality of staff provided. The services carried out by Chubb Security Personnel are in excess of those included in a regular man-guarding security contract. All Heritage Wardens must be SIA licensed, must have exemplary knowledge of the bylaws which apply to the Squares and must have the ability to manage contractors, external events co-ordinators and have the ability to establish and maintain relationships with the Police. Wardens are also expected to act as a point of contact for the public, providing help, guidance and information as well as deterring criminal activity or damage to the Squares, which as iconic locations within multiple English Heritage listed sites attract among the highest number of visitors in the capital. In effect the contractor is the GLA’s permanent agent on the Squares. At the time when the original contract period with Chubb Security Personnel Limited expired in May 2009 a formal extension to the contract using the provisions set out in the original contract was not invoked. This was an administrative oversight during the early stages of Organising for Delivery Programme and when there were temporary management arrangements for the Squares Team. Under the new Facilities and Squares Management Team a complete review of Squares contract documentation is being undertaken to ensure compliance.
