What is being bought

Published requirement description

The current Net2 access control system implemented at Harwich, Tower Hill (London) and St Just depots has been in operation for several years. It offers basic physical security by offering access control cards up to physical readers located by doors. Due to changes in organisational security needs, increased workforce mobility, and advancements in access control technology, it is necessary to implement a robust and scalable access control system that aligns with modern security protocols and offers improved functionality.
