Westminster Group PLC has won a contract to provide a Mass Entry Screening solution to what it describes as an iconic building within the UK.
The organisation concerned is taking steps to increase security arrangements in preparation for the forthcoming Protect Duty legislation, said Westminster, with the new laws expected to come into force within the UK later this year.
Protect Duty will set out standards to protect patrons and the public from terrorist attacks in publicly accessible locations.
Westminster said the requirement is to screen large numbers of visitors entering a facility for mass casualty threats effectively without creating delays or bottlenecks and it can do this without slowing the natural flow, improving both security and visitor experience.
The contract, valued at over £100,000, is to commence immediately and should be completed within the next few weeks.
Peter Fowler, Westminster’s chief executive, added: "In our recent interim report, I stated the Home Office estimates that 650,000 UK businesses could be affected by the Protect Duty legislation and that Westminster's expertise and portfolio of products and services are well placed to assist businesses and organisations prepare and improve their security accordingly.
"I am delighted therefore that Westminster has been selected for this prestigious contract, which was awarded following extensive on-site trials and is just one of a number of similar projects we are currently pursuing."
