UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Supply of GovPass cards" was managed by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, a central government public authority. Located in Cumbria, the Authority required services in the development of security equipment, specifically the supply of blank and printed Gov Passes for their access control system. The process, documented under UK legislation 2023/54, was conducted directly without competition as it fell below the procurement threshold. The contract, awarded to the Government Property Agency, began on 25 July 2025 and is set to complete by 31 March 2028. The procurement stage is at completion, ensuring all contract details are now finalised as of 20 August 2025.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in the development of security equipment to expand their portfolio, particularly those capable of delivering specialised services directly under UK governmental standards. While the procurement was executed through a direct method without competition, it highlights the readiness of public organizations to collaborate with capable suppliers. Large businesses with proficiency in security solutions and a history of handling government contracts would be particularly well-positioned to secure similar opportunities in the future.
