Security Service Agreement Templates

Security service providers often operate in high-risk, highly regulated environments where the practical details matter: who is providing the service, what formalities must be followed, how the client’s site and policies are managed, and how liability and insurance are structured.

This collection includes specialist agreements for two common categories of security services:

Door supervision (typically for licensed premises and similar venues)
Manned guarding (for services such as building security and site security)

Each agreement is built around a consistent structure, with the exact service description set out in a Service Level Schedule, so the legal framework stays stable while the operational detail can be tailored.

When Should You Use These Templates?

Use these templates if you provide security services and want a clear written contract that addresses, in particular:

compliance with Security Industry Authority licensing requirements for door supervisors and security guards;
the formalities governing how the services must be delivered and what the client must do to support delivery;
a controlled approach to subcontracting, including the principle that the main contractor remains responsible for the acts and breaches of subcontractors;
a clear and appropriate insurance structure, including whether subcontractors are covered under the main contractor’s policy or must maintain their own insurance.

What Templates Are Included?

Door Supervision

Door Supervision Service Agreement (Insured Sub-Contractors)

A specialist door supervision agreement for licensed premises and similar venues, covering SIA licensing, service formalities, client obligations, confidentiality, payment, and termination, with an insurance structure designed for subcontractors to be covered by the main contractor’s policy.

Door Supervision Service Agreement (Sub-Contractors Own Insurance)

A door supervision agreement with the same core framework, but drafted on the basis that subcontractors must maintain their own insurance (with cover equivalent to the main contractor’s). It includes a dedicated subcontracting section and requires careful alignment with your insurance arrangements.

Manned Guarding

Manned Guarding Security Service Agreement (Insured Sub-Contractors)

A manned guarding agreement suitable for services such as building security and site security, including SIA licensing requirements and a formal framework for service delivery. It also includes provisions for security guards to comply with relevant client company policies (with care taken to avoid “employment-only” policies).

Manned Guarding Security Service Agreement (Sub-Contractors Own Insurance)

A manned guarding agreement with the same core framework and Service Level Schedule structure, but drafted on the basis that subcontractors must carry their own insurance. It also highlights that the main contractor remains responsible for subcontractor acts and breaches as if they were its own.

Why Use These Templates?

These templates are designed to help security service providers put the right contractual framework in place for regulated services without relying on generic service agreements:

they combine a stable legal structure with a Service Level Schedule so you can clearly set out the operational detail for each contract;
they address the key compliance point of SIA licensing and the practical formalities of service delivery;
they provide alternative approaches to subcontractor insurance, allowing you to choose the structure that matches your operating model and insurance cover;
they deal clearly with client obligations, confidentiality, payment, and termination so both parties understand what is expected.
