Netherlands – Public security, law and order services – Straattoezichtteams ten behoeve van het Ministerie van Asiel en Migratie

The purpose of this tender is to contract three service providers for the deployment of street surveillance teams. The aim of this tender is to improve the sense of safety among residents and business owners in areas experiencing significant nuisance caused by asylum seekers through the deployment of street surveillance teams. The deployment of street surveillance teams contributes to the de-escalation of nuisance situations. The ability to deploy a street surveillance team is therefore a supplement to the integrated approach to nuisance caused by asylum seekers at both national and local levels. The street surveillance team is made available by the central government as an additional instrument in cases of persistent nuisance where other measures offer insufficient relief. The scope of the assignment includes:
- Providing street surveillance teams in public spaces where nuisance is experienced by asylum seekers. The Street Surveillance Teams are physically visible and serve to signal whether nuisance exists and/or is developing.
- Focusing on de-escalation upon the detection of the emergence of nuisance-causing situations; - If de-escalation fails, the timely involvement of other authorized security organizations such as special enforcement officers or the police.
- Communication and cooperation with stakeholders such as local residents, local government, police chain partners, and residents of reception locations.
