Tenders and Multiple Quotations
From CCTV Information
| Obtaining a number of quotations from different CCTV installers is fraught with problems. The various companies may produce widely differing specifications based upon totally different concepts. This often results in the customer, who has no specialist knowledge, being unable to make a sound choice. These problems are often compounded by the fact that CCTV companies will normally send along salesmen whose job is to do just that - sell. This often results in customers either purchasing more expensive equipment than is necessary or, if the salesman is worried about the competition, receiving a system which, while being low on price, is unable to supply pictures that are to the required legislative standard.
The CCTV Advisory Service has been established to improve the quality of CCTV design in the UK. We do not sell or install CCTV but offer, as a free service, independent advice and a visit to your premises to design a professional CCTV specification that will meet current police requirements for court evidence. We will also arrange for three pre-qualified companies to tender or provide quotations directly to you ensuring that you receive a quality system at the best price.

How are we paid?When conducting sales visits, installation companies send along salesmen who are paid salary, commission, expenses and normally drive a relatively new company car. Because we have completed the work that their salesmen would normally have fulfilled (although, often, to a much higher standard) the company chosen by the client, from the three we have selected to tender, will pay our consultancy fee out of the money that would normally be paid to their sales force. This enables our clients to receive free independent consultative services while paying no more for the installed system than if had they gone direct to the installation company. Should you require specialist consultation services to not only draw up tenders but also independently assess them and evaluate the installation we suggest that you refer to Safeguard Security Consultants. (Their services would be chargeable) | Customer comments regarding The CCTV Advisory Service
