Inc, wants to offer closed circuit television systems (CCTV) to customers.

The company has advertised for a project manager to "deliver fully operational CCTV systems to our clients''.

BAS-Serco was formed to offer businesses and government management services dealing with administration, building maintenance, hospitals, office facilities, parking, recreation and transportation. The company is also marketing itself as having the expertise to maintain or operate municipal services, and design and manage projects.

Through the joint venture BAS and Serco hope to take advantage of a worldwide trend among companies to outsource parts of their business to management firms specialised in such services.

Serco currently has a contract with the Bermuda government to provide air traffic control, ground electronic systems maintenance, aeronautical information, and crash rescue services at the airport.

BAS is an aircraft services firm which is listed on the Bermuda Stock Exchange. The company provides technical services to aircraft, airline catering and cargo and ramp handling. It also maintains the airport crash rescue vehicles under a contract with Serco.

BAS President and Chief Executive Officer Eugene Bean was away from the Island and could not be contacted about the company's plan. Hamilton is planning to install 30 CCTV security cameras to prevent crime in the city centre.

Corporation Secretary Roger Sherratt said tenders for the job were still being considered and no decision had been made on which company would be responsible for the project.
