Market Engagement – Terminal Security Operations Services at Doncaster Sheffield Airport · City of Doncaster Council

Doncaster Sheffield Airport (DSA) is undertaking a market discovery exercise to better understand the availability and capability of security providers within the aviation sector. As part of this exercise, we invite expressions of interest from organisations with proven experience in delivering airport terminal security services. It is important to note that this is not a tender process, procurement exercise, or commitment to outsource security services.

The purpose of this engagement is solely to gather information and assess market capability to help determine whether outsourcing terminal security provision may be a suitable option for DSA in the future. DSA is particularly interested in understanding the capability of providers who can demonstrate: Proven experience in delivering security services within regulated airport environments. A workforce comprised of personnel with established aviation security backgrounds.

Knowledge of aviation security regulations, airport operations, and compliance requirements. Experience in access control, patrols, incident management, customer service, and terminal security operations. The ability to work collaboratively with airport stakeholders, airlines, handling agents, and regulatory authorities.

A key requirement is that all personnel proposed for deployment must have demonstrable aviation security experience, ensuring an understanding of the unique operational and security demands of the airport environment. Interested organisations are invited to provide details of their aviation security experience, relevant airport contracts, operational capabilities, and personnel profiles to assist DSA in evaluating potential future options.

We welcome the opportunity to engage with experienced aviation security providers and learn more about the services and expertise available within the market.
