Westminster Group Plc:
New Contract Award
Consultancy Services - Caribbean
Westminster Group Plc ('Westminster' or the 'Group'), the AIM listed supplier of system solutions and products to the security, defence, fire protection and safety markets worldwide, is pleased to announce that its Technology Division has secured a new contract to undertake an extensive security consultancy project for a Caribbean government.
The contract, secured by Westminster International, is for the provision of consultancy services to review and assess the country's K9 law enforcement operations, including Police, Customs, Prisons and Army. The contract will involve a needs evaluation for each agency including a full training needs evaluation; a review of each unit's K9 standards; and a review of standard operating procedures and current deployment practices. In addition, the project will involve an assessment of kennelling facilities; a veterinary assessment of each dog; a feasibility study for a national training centre and national breeding program; and the preparation of a strategic development plan.
The contract will commence immediately and involve a specialist Westminster team being deployed in the country concerned for several weeks.
Commenting on the contract award Peter Fowler, Chief Executive of Westminster Group, said:
"I am both pleased and proud that Westminster has been selected to undertake this important and extensive assignment which underpins our growing reputation around the world not only for the provision of equipment and technology solutions but also for the provision of specialist consultancy services.
"Of particular relevance is the fact that Westminster has secured this contract, which had been in negotiation over several months, for a new governmental client in the Caribbean. This now means we have K9 operations covering three continents and we are already in discussions with the government concerned regarding more extensive services both from our Technology and also Managed Services Divisions.
"I would also like to acknowledge the strong support Westminster has had and continues to receive from the British Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) and UKTI who have been most supportive".
