HM Passport Office Peterborough

Case Study

Client Overview

The New HM Passport Office in Peterborough, situated in the vibrant Fletton Quays, serves as a significant government hub housing over 1,000 government staff from various departments and agencies. Cabinet Office Minister Alex Burghart officially inaugurated this key facility, marking a milestone in the city’s ongoing £120 million regeneration.

The Challenge

As the government sought to streamline its operations and enhance security within the New HM Passport Office, a comprehensive and high-security access control system was required. This system needed to align with the new functional standard developed by the Cabinet Office, known as GovPass, designed to provide advanced access control to government department buildings. With numerous government roles relocating from London to Peterborough, the need for a secure and efficient access control system was paramount.

Our Solution

Hunters Security, a renowned system integrator with a reputation for excellence, was entrusted with the task of designing, installing, and maintaining a robust access control solution for the New HM Passport Office. To meet the demanding requirements of GovPass compliance, Hunters Security implemented the Gallagher Access Control System.

Key Features of the Implemented Solution:

GovPass Compliance: The Gallagher Access Control System was carefully selected for its GovPass compliance, ensuring it met the stringent security standards set by the Cabinet Office. As a certified supplier and chosen partner manufacturer for GovPass development and testing, Gallagher’s solution was perfectly aligned with the government’s security needs.

High Security: The system features the highest level of encryption, guaranteeing that only authorised personnel gain access to sensitive areas within the facility.

End-to-End Solution: Gallagher offers a unique end-to-end solution, covering everything from the controller to the reader. This seamless integration ensures a smooth and secure deployment of GovPass from the Gallagher Command Centre software.

Benefits and Results:

Hunters Security’s implementation of the Gallagher Access Control System at the New HM Passport Office in Peterborough has yielded substantial benefits:

  • Enhanced Security: With over 120+ doors on-site, the access control system has significantly bolstered security. Only authorised individuals can enter restricted areas, ensuring the safety of government staff and sensitive information.

  • Efficiency: The seamless integration of the Gallagher system simplifies access management, making it easy to add or revoke access privileges as needed. This efficiency is crucial in a dynamic government environment.

  • Cost-Effective: By investing in a comprehensive access control solution, the New HM Passport Office ensures long-term cost savings through reduced risk of security breaches and streamlined operations.

  • GovPass Compliance: As government departments increasingly transition to GovPass, the New HM Passport Office in Peterborough is well-prepared to meet evolving security standards. Gallagher’s GovPass-compliant solution future-proofs the facility’s security infrastructure.
