What the buyer says
This opportunity (“Contract”) is for a single supplier to supply, install, service and maintain a new replacement Key Management System to the Institute. The project is to replace the current, end-of-life system on a like for like basis i.e. replace the current 14 cabinets with modern equivalents as is. The proposed new set-up of 22 cabinets optimises the present set-up and ensures continued legal compliance as well as improving operational efficiencies and response times in the event of an incident or emergency across all areas of site. A replacement, modern KMS is an essential requirement to retain, and strengthen, Pirbright’s control of access to highly critical infrastructure, equipment and restricted areas. The proposed KMS will provide secure, auditable and centrally managed control of all critical keys, ensuring that access is only granted to appropriately authorised personnel, with full traceability. The replacement cabinets would be stored in strategic locations across site to ensure operational efficiency and capability to respond promptly to incidents and/or emergencies. This capability to securely manage critical keys across site is fundamental to maintaining legal compliance with SAPO and ATCSA regulations, both of which require Pirbright to ensure physical access controls are in place, and appropriately managed. .
