It is anticipated that the International Criminal Court (ICC) located in The Hague, The Netherlands, will shortly be issuing a solicitation on the provision of Outsourced Security Guard Services to the ICC Field Office in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). In this connection, the ICC is requesting expression of interest from qualified firms.

Scope of Work

A general threat assessment for an ICC field office necessitates a provision of security guards to provide guarding of the premises, reception, screening and escort of all persons, deliveries and vehicles arriving at these premises. It is a security concept similar to that which is typically used in facilities operated by the United Nations (UN) or similar organisations and is intended to prevent persons entering the field office and bring in prohibited items, such as firearms, explosives, or other weapons which may endanger staff, witnesses and accused persons or otherwise adversely impact on the daily functioning of the Court’s activities. In practical terms, there is a requirement for outsourced security guards to be deployed to control access to the field office and to screen persons entering the building by verifying their identity and using appropriate security equipment provided by the ICC.

______

The detailed scope of work will be provided under the Request for Proposal document to interested firms/organizations after receipt of confirmation / sufficient supporting documentation indicating that they have been previously assessed and approved by the UNDSS. As this is a pass/fail evaluation criteria.

Note: As a member of the UN Security Management System, the ICC is integrated in the UN security arrangements in a duty station and has undertaken ‘in practice’ all steps to comply with UN standards and instructions. It is not an issue of registration but a result of an assessment.


Expression of Interests including the required confirmation / supporting documentation regarding UNDSS approval can be submitted by facsimile or e-mail to the attention of Mr. Kevin Gallagher at fax no. +31 70 515 8336 or by e-mail Please use the attached form.
