Won a new security contract? The clock is already running. Getting SIA-licensed, screened officers on site by the go-live date means headcount, TUPE transfers, BS7858 screening, relief cover and site inductions all have to land in the same few weeks.

Say hello to the Contract Mobilisation Workforce Planner. It’s a free PDF guide that helps you turn a contract specification into a staffing plan, with every deadline counted back from your go-live date.

What’s Inside?

A free 12-page PDF in five steps:

  1. Your six-week mobilisation plan
  2. How many officers you need, with a headcount worksheet
  3. Before anyone works a shift: day-one and TUPE checklists
  4. Cost check and what to agree with the client at kick-off
  5. A printable officer readiness tracker

Right to work deserves special attention. SIA data shows 90.2% of licence revocations between January 2022 and August 2026 were for no right to work, which is why the planner tracks it beyond onboarding. Read more in our analysis of SIA licence revocation data.
