Requirements to Join the Vendor Network

Simpson Protective Services has strict standards for which vendor applicants are accepted into the vendor network.

In order to determine if you are able to meet the minimum requirements needed to join the Simpson Protective Services Vendor Network, please review the information below before applying.

New vendors must be licensed guarding companies  (if operating in a state which regulates guarding companies). As the company of record, we are required to have your license information on file.

Insurance Policy Limits Required. As you obtain or renew the insurance policies listed above so that you can accept the type of

work shown, Simpson Protective Services requires the following policy limits as mandatory minimum requirements. 

Note that the insured name on your insurance policies must match your company name as it appears on your W-9.

• General and professional liability policies are usually written together. Simpson Protective Services requires that you carry

both lines of coverage with policy limits at $1 million per occurrence, and $2 million in aggregate.

• Assault and battery coverage is generally available as part of your General Liability policy. Speak with your broker to ensure that assault and battery is in fact included, and if so, at the same policy limits. If it is excluded from your GL policy, please speak

with your broker to obtain either a separate policy, a rider, an excess policy, or an umbrella policy, that adds assault and battery to your coverage package – at the same $1 million per occurrence policy limits as your GL coverage.

• Automobile liability coverage is only required for vendors who will utilize vehicles (including golf carts) at $1 million per occurrence.

• Workers compensation coverage is typically available through a state-sponsored plan, or via individual insurance policy.
• If you intend to handle armed assignments of any duration, or long-term assignments of any kind, you must have a WC policy

with a coverage limit of $500k. This is typically available either as a private policy from your broker, or via a state-sponsored WC plan.

Compliance Specialists will authenticate all insurance documents submitted to Simpson Protective Services

by contacting your broker or carrier for verification.
