KST awarded contract extension with Post Office Ltd

Specialist security, fire and life safety technology provider, Kings Secure Technologies (KST), has announced the extension of its contract with Post Office Ltd until 2029.

Post Office Ltd is a core part of the national infrastructure; it is essential that its network has the appropriate security controls in place to ensure that it is not affected by issues that could impact the service it provides to its customers, clients and the wider community. With an expansive estate of over 11,500 Post Office branches, 15 cash centre depots and three main admin offices, first class delivery and compliance is of the utmost importance.

The two organisations have built a trusted partnership over the years, with KST identifying opportunities to reduce cost and improve efficiencies in areas where the benefit could be reinvested in significant savings for the client.

Bob Forsyth, Chief Executive Officer of KST, said: “We are delighted to announce the extension of our contract with Post Office Ltd and the continuation of our successful relationship. The team at KST prides itself on having provided exceptional and reliable critical security services to Post Office, keeping their Post Masters, assets, customers and clients secure through vigilance and proactive engagement.”

The Director of Property, Network Crime and Equipment at Post Office Ltd said of the extension: “The safety and security of our Post Masters, the public and our colleagues is top priority for Post Office Ltd. Under the extended contract, KST will continue to be responsible for the provision of Property Security, Grapevine and Business Support Services for our extensive portfolio. During the initial tendering process, we were impressed by the quality and competitive value offered by KST, and also by their understanding of our business and requirements. We are delighted to extend this contract with KST and look forward to further developing our trusted relationship.”
