Mobilisation is the First phase after the Contract has been awarded to CBRE.

This covers preparing for Go-Live and the components to have the Security service provider ready and capable to commence on site.

Who prepares the Mobilisation Plan?

The Plan should be jointly prepared by CBRE Operations and the Transition team.

Understand and align Scope and document services to be provided

3. Mobilisation Planning

Mobilization planning- Is the steps taken to start a New Client contract.

What is required?

  • Due Diligence Activities
  • Prepare Mobilization plans
  • Agree on any metrics to monitor progress
  • Agree on key personnel to manage the process and assign responsibilities

Key Activities in planning

Develop the Mobilzation plan and align to other CBRE services

Align plans and approve with CBRE Leadership, incl timetables

Review any Risks associated with the implementation

Complete mobilization tasks including Risk resolution

Finalise all outstanding activities incl contracts and reporting

Provide OK to Go-Live and confirm to all required parties

2. Conducting Due Diligence

What is Due Diligence?

What must the Service Provider do?

Understand and align Scope with CBRE and document

Coordinate and plan the transition with CBRE leadership

Implement the services within the agreed timeframe

Examples of Legacy Risks and Non-Compliance to be aware of

  • Legacy Service Levels different from those specified by the Client
  • Undeclared requirements for training, security clearances and licenses, uniforms and equipment
  • lack of documented procedures
  • Poor security controls in place
  • Poor Asset condition

The Service Provider must:

Support CBRE to obtain all available relevant client security management and security governance documentation, to include (but not limited to):

Security Policies, Security Standards, Security Processes and Procedures, Service Levels, KPIs, SOPs and Assignment Instructions and any other relevant material.  This includes all security documentation relating to non-guarding security services and activities.

Work with and support CBRE transition teams for conducting Due Diligence, work as per agreed CBRE timelines and participate in client and CBRE communications in line with CBRE communications plan. 

Continue to report on and show proof of Compliance to all relative standards fpor each site and cluster.

3. Useful Links

Where a service level is identified during Due Diligence that is above CBRE / Security service provider’s minimum standards and / or was not specified by the Client in their tender specification (and all related material provided) or could not reasonably have been foreseen by CBRE and the service provider then the service provider must prepare a schedule for CBRE to highlight any additional costs from these additional requirements. 

These additional requirements must show the following:

The enhanced standard which

is to include industry best practices and / or regulatory requirements

Any gaps between the

proposed solution in the bid

and the actual service levels to be implemented

Any increment to the costs for the services to be performed

Any additional services

required to meet and be

accepted for and paid  by the Client

Ask the Question - Are there any better value options ???

2. Considerations for Best Practices in Enhanced Legacy Services

CCTV systems to cover high risk areas or areas not fully patrolled

Fencing and natural barriers to prevent unauthorised entry

improved lighting and additional lighting coverage

Building Intruder detection systems installed

Perimeter detection systems installed

Alarms and early

warning systems

installed

Mobile patrol check-in readers installed to monitor guard movement

Best Practices ensure RISKS are reduced or eliminated

When an account is terminated, it is essential to ensure an amicable and smooth exit for both CBRE and the Security service provider, particularly as the Client may return for services in the future. An orderly exit will reduce legacy risks and costs, protect reputation, demonstrate good ethics and sound business and risk management practices. The De-Mobilization standards also apply to sites that are taken out of scope for reasons of disposal and business sale. 

Who prepares the De-Mobilisation Plan?

The Plan should be jointly prepared by CBRE Operations and the Service provider.

Assist with management of operational Risks during Exit

2. Purpose and expectations of De-Mobilisation

CBRE Key Activities in De-Mobilisation

If a business is closing ensure a residual security operation remains

Ensure all outstanding costs are accounted for

Provide employment information where required

What must the Service Provider do?

Work with CBRE and provide an

Exit Strategy 

Ensure return of Client Assets or handed to 

new Service provider 

Ensure CBRE Assets are secured and recovered

  • To ensure smooth and risk-free exit from Clients’ premises and handover to others or stopping of service responsibilities
  • To safeguard any outstanding costs which are identified and a way of ensuring that they are recovered or continue to be met by clients e.g. for the payment for security hardware installed to facilitate guarding cost reductions
  • To ensure there are no legacy liabilities through security failings including lack of control over security assets and any subsequent claims for loss
