This procurement falls under the industry categories of smart cards, surveillance and security systems, access control systems, software packages, security equipment development, and security services, and is located within the United Kingdom. A crucial online supplier engagement session was conducted on 27 January 2025, from 11:00 to 12:30 GMT, to provide information to potential suppliers about the GPA's upcoming procurement strategy and high-level requirements. The GPA's early engagement notice and responses to supplier questions are documented and available online. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in Access Control System (ACS) provision, Encryption/Cloud architecture, and those specialising in the installation and maintenance of such systems. SMEs are particularly encouraged to participate, given the GPA's emphasis on engaging with diverse and specialised suppliers. Businesses that can offer innovative solutions and technical expertise in security software development, repair, and maintenance services for security equipment would find this opportunity particularly lucrative. The GPA's engagement aims to inform suppliers, gather valuable insights, and outline the strategic direction for the forthcoming GovPass project, fostering opportunities for growth and collaboration in this sector. ## Notice The Government Property Agency (GPA), in conjunction with techUK, will be holding an online supplier engagement session on Monday 27 January 2025 (11:00-12:30 GMT) to inform suppliers of the GPA's upcoming procurement for an Access Control Systems (Encryption/Cloud) Technical Services Partner. The webinar will also cover the separate procurement of an Access Control Systems Installation Partner for GovPass. GPA are seeking to engage with potential suppliers to share GPA's strategy for these two procurements, and we are keen to engage with Access Control System (ACS) vendors, Encryption/Cloud Architect Vendors, and Security and Systems Integrators specialising in the install and maintenance of Access Control Systems.
