Cut Corners On Security, Secom Tells FM Sector The spread of private finance initiative (PFI) and public private partnership (PPP) projects, where upfront investment is repaid through ongoing management, highlights the difficult choice facing all facilities managers, he says. “They are under pressure to maintain high standards in the projects they manage, but at the same time they are seeking to minimise costs to maximise the profitability of the management contract. In the PFI/PPP sector it’s potentially more challenging because it’s a long haul relationship and private investors are understandably looking for a reasonable return over the 20–30 year term.” The public and private sectors have combined forces to develop new facilities in various areas – such as prisons, hospitals and schools – enabling the government to deliver more of its promises on public service improvements. And in the private sector, facilities management for shops, offices and industrial parks has become a significant outsourced specialisation, allowing property developers to focus on their core business, and commercial tenants on theirs. “Against this backdrop, facilities managers are looking for cost effective ‘one stop shop’ solutions in security – as with other services such as contract cleaning, catering and building management. Security is required to ensure a safe environment, keeping wrongdoers out (or in) and to protect valuable assets,” says Alan Hazell. “Crime gets a great deal of media attention, but if serious incidents in public buildings were to result from poor security, the likely publicity for the facilities managers or others responsible could be extremely damaging. It would also undermine the PFI principle. “Facilities managers have to ensure protection against traditional crimes against persons or property – such as minor assaults and thefts – but increasingly they face incidents of vandalism, arson and bodily harm, in addition to headline-grabbing murders or robberies. Electronic security solutions have a strong deterrent effect, but where crime does occur, they can be a source of crucial evidence.” He says specialist security solution providers are in demand to provide a reliable, comprehensive service. A multi-faceted security system, embracing surveillance, intruder detection and access controls that can be maintained by a regular, single engineer is particularly attractive – especially where the system is in a secure environment. In both public and private sectors, long term business relationships based on agreed service levels are favoured. “One of the difficulties for the security industry is the tendency for some providers to grow by acquisition, which means that contractual responsibilities may effectively pass through several hands during the contract period,” says Alan Hazell. “In some cases this could impact on service delivery. On the other hand, companies that can demonstrate organic growth over a long period, a great service record and the technical and financial backing of a major group, tend to be the more popular choice of facilities managers.” As a security solutions provider in the latter
category, Secom plc enjoys the support of facilities managers
in a growing portfolio of public and private sector installations
in the UK and elsewhere. In Japan, the group recently won a contract
to secure a major PFI prison development. Alan Hazell says: “In addition to our quality solutions, we build relationships by providing ongoing service through our highly experienced engineers, all of whom undergo strict security screening before we allow them to represent Secom. We also work closely with a number of police services to minimise crime at source.” Secom plc installs innovative tailored security solutions for commercial, public sector and domestic customers throughout the UK. Its ongoing quality service includes 24-hour monitoring of intruder and fire alarms, and video surveillance systems. Secom plc is the UK arm of a major global electronic security group, established in the 1960s. The group operates in 11 countries and its 38,000 employees serve more than a million customers. 31st

Never
cut corners on security to reduce the costs – or improve
the profitability – of long term facilities management contracts,
warns Alan Hazell, UK South Regional Sales Manager for leading
electronic security solutions provider Secom plc. He says flawless
security is a vital ingredient for good facilities management
in the public and private sectors, and second best is nearly always
a false economy.
