PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority bought multi-factor authentication tokens: hardware or token-based products used to strengthen user sign-in and access security. The requirement covered the provision of tokens for multi-factor authentication, classified under IT equipment and related supplies (CPV 30200000). It was a goods procurement managed by the Scottish Police Authority, a public body responsible for public order and safety and based in Glasgow. Delivery related to the Authority’s operations in Scotland. The requirement was arranged as a single lot and formed part of a public procurement covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. This is a focused opportunity for suppliers of authentication tokens, identity and access security equipment, or associated secure end-user technology rather than a general IT services contract.

The procurement has been completed through an open procedure. It had one lot, covering the provision of multi-factor authentication tokens. Six electronic bids were received, including one from an SME. boxxe Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and is active, with a value of £99,295. The available outcome data identifies the awarded supplier and contract value; the award record does not provide a separate award date or contract end date. The process was evaluated through the tender procedure, but no detailed price, quality or technical weighting is stated. The award therefore records a completed competition for one defined token supply requirement, with the successful supplier contracted at the stated value.

For suppliers that did not win, this procurement demonstrates established public-sector demand for multi-factor authentication tokens within the Scottish Police Authority. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply dependable authentication-token hardware or equivalent products, understand secure user access and multi-factor authentication, and support delivery to a public-sector organisation operating across Scotland. The requirement was sufficiently defined to attract six electronic bids, so suppliers would need a clear, compliant offer and the capacity to fulfil a single-authority token supply contract at meaningful scale. Experience supplying identity, access-control or cyber-security equipment would help demonstrate relevance, although the published outcome does not identify specific accreditations, technical standards or staffing requirements.
