## Summary

The procurement process for the supply and configuration of pre-printed smartcards has been completed by Newcastle University, located in Newcastle, England. This contract falls under the goods category, specifically related to security-type printed matter, with a total contract value of £160,000. The initial tender period concluded on 11th June 2018, and the contract commenced on 4th July 2018. The contract is set for a duration of three years, with a potential extension of one additional year. The awarded contract current value is £87,378, with the contract period running until 3rd July 2021.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on security and smart card technologies, especially those that can provide solutions for access control and ID verification systems. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that cater to sectors such as digital security, telecommunications, or technology services would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future. As Newcastle University may seek further enhancements or additional functionalities for smartcards in subsequent years, suppliers with innovative and adaptable solutions will likely find continued opportunities in this market.
