What TenderHawk watches
Public buyers already publish security work. TenderHawk makes it easier to spot.
Security work can mean keyholding, guarding, patrols, CCTV, access control, intruder alarms or maintenance. TenderHawk watches for notices where the service type, sites and response expectations are clear.

Questions
Common questions
Is security work too regulated for small firms?
Some of it is. TenderHawk flags licence, staffing, response and technical requirements before a firm wastes time.
Can TenderHawk separate guarding from systems work?
Yes. Security alerts distinguish keyholding, guarding, CCTV, access control and alarm maintenance so you are not chasing the wrong kind of work.
