Bay of Plenty DHB Seeks Manned Security Services for Hospitals

What we need Bay of Plenty District Health Board (BOPDHB) is seeking a suitable supplier(s) to provide manned security services for Tauranga and Whakatane hospitals.

BOPDHB is a 365 day 24/7 facility and security services will be provided to meet the requirements of the hospital Emergency Departments and Adult Mental Health facilities in Tauranga What we don�t want Unregistered and unqualified service organisations submitting responses that do not meet BOPDHB�s requirements.

What�s important to us BOPDHB requires experienced, empathetic and well qualified security personnel to provide a consistently high service across the two hospitals. You will need to demonstrate a proven track record across a number of environments from those needing minimal security to those needing high levels of security involvement. Respect for patient privacy and confidentiality is very important.

You will need to demonstrate you have policies and practices in place and all staff are well versed in the application thereof. You will need to offer a range of personnel who would be comfortable working in a hospital setting, demonstrate empathy, firmness, composure and a sense of community.
