After two years of collaboration and following a tendering procedure, Keynetics has been awarded a three-year contract extension with Westminster City Council to provide, install and manage its digital key management systems.
Keynetics’ solutions include Bluetooth key safes, a cloud-based platform for access management and auditing, and an app for key safe access.
Stuart Wheeler, managing director at Keynetics, said: “In addition to the features of our products, sustainability is one of the most appealing benefits for organisations in both private and public sectors.
“In Westminster’s case, the fact that we remove and redeploy our solutions at different locations is not only cost-saving but also environmentally friendly; it improves the visual appeal of the Westminster area by reducing key safe clutter, which is common at multiple occupancy sites, particularly in densely populated cities like London.”
Jonathan Wills, senior delivery manager at Westminster City Council, commented: “A successful pilot proved the efficacy and benefits of the products and cemented a very positive relationship with Keynetics – one which we are happy to see continue with a longer-term contract now in place.”
Over the years, Keynetics systems have also been used on Westminster’s administrative buildings for quick and secure staff access to selective locations.
