Mitigating security risks requires a partnership approach, and selecting the right physical security provider is crucial. Here are our top tips to help you source trusted partners and build a successful working relationship…
1. Conduct a Thorough Security Risk Assessment: Before embarking on your search, conduct a comprehensive security risk assessment of your facility. This evaluation should consider factors like the building’s layout, access points, potential security vulnerabilities, and the specific needs of your tenants or occupants. A thorough assessment helps tailor your security solutions and ensures your chosen partner can address your most pressing concerns.
2. Prioritise Expertise and Experience:
Security threats are constantly evolving, and your physical security partner should be wellequipped to handle them. Look for providers with a proven track record in your industry sector. Do they have experience securing buildings similar to yours (e.g., offices, retail spaces, educational institutions)? Seek partners with qualified security professionals on staff,including security consultants, engineers, and installation technicians.
3. Evaluate the Security Solutions Offered:
A comprehensive security system combines physical and technological elements. Consider the range of solutions offered by potential partners. This could include:
• Access Control Systems: Restricting access to authorized personnel through swipe cards, key fobs, or biometric authentication.
• CCTV Cameras: Providing real-time surveillance of common areas, entrances, and perimeters.
Consider options like highdefinition cameras or automated license plate recognition (ALPR) for vehicle access control.
• Intruder Alarms: Deterring unauthorized entry and alerting security personnel to potential breaches.
• Perimeter Security: Securing external areas with fencing, security gates, and well-lit pathways.
• Security Patrols: Providing a visible deterrent and ensuring a rapid response to security incidents.
4. Seek Seamless Integration and User-Friendliness: Modern security systems leverage technology. Look for partners offering solutions that integrate seamlessly with your existing building management systems. Prioritize user-friendly interfaces for access control systems and ensure all staff (including security personnel) are adequately trained on their operation and emergency procedures.
5. Focus on Maintenance and Ongoing Support: Security is an ongoing process. Choose a partner offering comprehensive maintenance plans for your security systems. This ensures optimal performance and timely repairs in the event of malfunctions. Look for providers with 24/7 emergency support hotlines, ensuring a rapid response to security incidents.
Building a Strong Partnership: Beyond selecting a provider with the right solutions, fostering a strong working relationship is key. Here’s what to consider:
• Open Communication: Maintain open communication channels with your chosen partner. Schedule regular meetings to discuss security concerns, system performance, and future needs.
• Collaboration: Involve your security partner in strategic security planning discussions. Their expertise can be invaluable in identifying potential risks and developing preventative measures.
• Adaptability: The security landscape evolves. Partner with a provider that demonstrates a willingness to adapt their solutions to fit your evolving needs and building security requirements. By following these top tips, senior Facilities Managers can navigate the landscape of physical security partners with confidence. This empowers them to select a trusted advisor who can deliver a comprehensive security solution, build a strong working relationship, and ultimately create a safe and secure environment for your building and its occupants.

Liz Kentish Managing Director Kentish & Co
Researchers have been studying the factors that influence us to say “Yes” to the requests of others for over 60 years. There can be no doubt that there’s a science to how we are persuaded, and a lot of the science is surprising.
When making a decision, it would be nice to think that people consider all the available information in order to guide their thinking. But the reality is very often different. In the increasingly overloaded lives we lead, more than ever we need shortcuts or rules of thumb to guide our decision-making.
• The six principles of persuasion - what are they and how can you use them?
As co-founder of Kentish and Co Liz’s key role is to develop our global business partnerships. Our current focus is working with both clients and service providers to create true partnerships that stand the test of time and minimize day to day ‘noise’. Liz is an ambassador and role model for those in facilities management, the built environment and the many other sectors of industry that Kentish and Cowork in.

Senior FMs are constantly seeking ways to streamline operations, optimise costs, and ensure a thriving work environment. This is where Total Facilities Management (TFM) solutions come in. But with a multitude of providers vying for your attention, choosing the right partner can be daunting. Here are some top tips to help you navigate the options and find a trusted TFM provider for your organisation, based on inout from attendees at the FM Forum…
1. Comprehensive Needs Assessment: Before embarking on your search, conduct a thorough needs assessment. Identify the specific services you require. This could encompass everything from cleaning and maintenance to security, catering, and waste management.
2. Scalability and Flexibility: Consider your organisation’s growth plans. Choose a TFM provider who can scale their services to accommodate future needs, whether it’s expanding office space or accommodating changing workstyles.
3. Focus on Sustainability: Is sustainability a priority for your organisation? Look for TFM providers with a commitment to eco-friendly practices, such as using green cleaning products, implementing energy-saving measures, and promoting waste reduction initiatives.
Providers:
1. Industry Expertise: Not all TFM providers are created equal. Choose a company with proven experience in your specific industry sector. Their understanding of your industry’s unique needs translates to efficient service delivery and tailored solutions.
2. Financial Stability and Track Record: Financial stability is crucial for long-term success.
Research the provider’s track record, financial health, and reputation within the FM industry. Read online reviews and testimonials from other UK businesses.
3. Technology Integration: Modern TFM providers leverage technology to streamline operations and improve service delivery. Look for providers that offer robust technology platforms, data-driven insights, and seamless integration with your existing building management systems.
Beyond the Basics:
1. Single Point of Contact: A key benefit of TFM solutions is a single point of contact for all your facilities management needs. Ensure the provider offers a dedicated account manager who understands your organisation’s requirements and can act as your main point of liaison.
2. Innovation and Continuous Improvement: The FM landscape is constantly evolving. Look for a TFM provider with a commitment to innovation and continuous improvement. This could include utilising new technologies, adopting best practices, or offering additional services to address emerging needs.
3. Communication and Transparency: Open and transparent communication is vital. Choose a provider that fosters a collaborative partnership, proactively communicates on project updates and potential issues, and listens to your feedback.
Making the Final Decision:
1. Request for Proposals (RFPs): Develop a detailed RFP outlining your requirements, desired outcomes, and budget. Send this to shortlisted providers and carefully evaluate their responses. This ensures a clear understanding of their capabilities and proposed solutions.
2. Reference Checks and Case Studies: Request references from existing clients in the UK and conduct reference checks. Additionally, review case studies that showcase the provider’s success stories in similar organisations.
3. Contract Negotiations: Negotiate the contract terms carefully. Ensure clarity on service levels, performance guarantees, key performance indicators (KPIs), and termination clauses.
Finding the right TFM provider is an investment in your organisation’s future. By following these top tips, you can make informed decisions and find a trusted partner who delivers a comprehensive, costeffective, and sustainable solution. Remember, a TFM provider is an extension of your team, working collaboratively to create a productive and healthy work environment for your employees and a competitive advantage for your business.

The responsibility of Facilities Management (FM) extends far beyond ensuring a building’s functionality. Safeguarding staff, tenants, and assets is paramount, and the approach to physical security has undergone a significant transformation in recent years. Let’s explore this journey towards a more holistic security approach and examine the exciting solutions likely to empower FM professionals in the future…
From Reactive to Proactive: Traditionally, physical security relied on reactive measures like security guards and basic access control systems. The focus has shifted towards:
• Comprehensive Risk Assessments: Identifying potential vulnerabilities within the facility and prioritizing security measures accordingly.
• Layered Security Approach: Implementing a multi-layered security system that combines physical barriers,technology, and security protocols.
• Emergency Preparedness Plans: Developing and regularly practicing emergency response plans for various scenarios is crucial.
Focus on Integration in the Public Sector:
Public sector buildings, often open to the public, necessitate a balance between security and accessibility. FM professionals are:
• Integrating Security Systems: Seamlessly linking access control, CCTV, and intruder alarms creates a more unified security ecosystem.
• Prioritizing Cybersecurity: Public sector facilities are increasingly targeted by cyberattacks, so robust IT security measures are vital.
• Collaboration with Local Authorities: Building strong relationships with local law enforcement fosters a proactive approach to security.
The Private Sector Embraces Technology:
The private sector is at the forefront of adopting innovative security solutions:
• Cloud-Based Access Control Systems: These systems offer centralized management and realtime access control monitoring.
• Video Analytics: AI-powered video analytics can detect suspicious behaviour and alert security personnel in real-time.
• Internet of Things (IoT) Integration: Integrating sensors and smart devices into the security system allows for automated monitoring and real-time data analysis.
The Future of Physical Security: A Data-Driven and Dynamic Approach
The future of physical security holds exciting possibilities for FM professionals:
• Predictive Maintenance: IoT sensors can monitor building systems and predict potential equipment failures,minimizing security vulnerabilities.
• Biometric Authentication: Fingerprint scanners and facial recognition systems offer enhanced access control security.
• Cyber-Physical Security Convergence: A holistic approach that integrates physical security measures with robust IT security protocols.
Embracing a Culture of Security:
Effective physical security requires a commitment from all stakeholders:
• Staff Training: Regular security awareness training for staff empowers them to identify and report security risks.
• Clear Communication: Disseminating clear security policies and procedures is essential for everyone within the facility.
• Data Security and Privacy: FM professionals must ensure compliance with data protection regulations when implementing new security technologies.
A Secure Future for All Facilities
By embracing a data-driven and layered approach, FM professionals can create a more secure environment for all facility users. Technological advancements and a focus on integration will be key to developing dynamic security solutions.Ultimately, a culture of security awareness, fostered through collaboration and ongoing communication, will be the cornerstone of a safe and secure future for all facilities.
