SITC - Security Innovation & Technology Consortium
New Study into Procurement of Security Technologies and Services
SITC is encouraging its members to contribute to a research study which aims to improve the understanding of current security procurement practices in the UK and develop recommendations for best practice, along with free web based tools and guidance, for purchasers and suppliers of security technology and services.
The research is being conducted by SITC member, Perpetuity Research, as part of its Security Research Initiative (SRI) which is supported by the British Security Industry Association (BSIA), The Security Institute and ASIS International and sponsored by 17 major companies with security interests.
SITC is keen to ensure that the particular issues faced by its members in the high technology and innovative segment of the security market are fully reflected in this study. SITC members are therefore encouraged to participate in this study to ensure that, for instance, the particular barriers that innovative SMEs face within standard security procurement processes are reflected or that the 'open innovation' approaches being adopted by more enlightened larger companies seeking innovative security solutions are properly documented.
If you would like further information or you a willing to spare up to an hour for a telephone interview to share your experiences and perceptions of the security procurement process with the research team, please contact Charlotte Lawson on 0116 222 5563 or c.lawson@perpetuitygroup.com
