We are pleased to announce the award of a significant contract extension valued at approximately £1.15 million for an East African Parliament.

The contract relates to the continuation and expansion of a parliamentary broadcast system, which Westminster is delivering for the country’s National Assembly debating chamber. This follows the successful completion of previous phases and demonstrates the client’s confidence in Westminster’s capabilities and delivery.

The scope of the extension includes the provision and integration of additional high-specification broadcasting equipment, designed to support the complex and evolving operational needs of the parliamentary environment. The system will further enhance transparency and communication by enabling the high-quality broadcast and recording of parliamentary proceedings.

This latest award builds on the Group’s growing portfolio of international technology contracts. In recent months, Westminster has secured multiple new contracts totalling over £2 million, including the supply of personnel screening technology to a major UK-based chemicals group and a complete broadcast system for a global media organisation.

Commenting on the new contract award, Westminster's Chief Executive Officer, Peter Fowler, said:

"I have previously announced that the global economic situation had caused a number of technology contract awards to be delayed due to customer's budget constraints. I am delighted, therefore, to be able to announce our technology division has secured its fourth significant contract win over the past three weeks.

"With three recent contracts already announced totalling circa £900,000, this latest contract, valued at circa £1.15 million, brings the total order value for larger technology contracts secured in the last three weeks to circa £2.05 million, in addition to numerous smaller contracts being secured.

"I am particularly pleased to be able to announce this significant extension contract for the East African Parliament, so soon after the initial contract award was announced on 30 June 2025. At that time, I stated we expected to secure an even larger additional contract award and the fact this came so soon after the initial award is an indication of the customer's confidence in Westminster and the hard work of our development teams. The project is expected to be largely, if not completely, delivered in the current financial year.

"These are important new technology contract awards. Plus, we have large-scale managed services projects such as Gabon which is now live, and others coming on stream hopefully later this year, such as DRC, which has been helped by the recent peace talks and other developments. These together with our current run rate business, provides an encouraging start to the new financial year."
