The main requirement is high-security CR80 cards with Legic encoding capability and full encoding functionality. It also includes SISYS blank white CR80 ISO-standard PVC ID cards, supplied in packs of 100, for printing and encoding applications. The procurement provides access to the Unite Procurement Platform, a route for UK public-sector organisations to manage high-volume, lower-value purchases. The goods are for delivery in the United Kingdom. The procurement is for goods, classified under CPV 30236000, miscellaneous computer equipment, with electronic cards as an additional classification. This procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a selective procedure using a catalogue-purchase method. The tender submission deadline was 14 September 2026 at 16:00 UK time. The contract period runs from 15 September 2026 to 15 September 2028. Its estimated value is between £35,000 and £140,000, inclusive of the stated minimum and maximum, in GBP. The requirement is being established through a platform rather than as a sole-supplier appointment, with multiple suppliers potentially onboarded. It is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Suppliers are asked to provide product-range details, modification capabilities and maintenance-service information as part of the application. This opportunity suits manufacturers, specialist distributors and service providers able to supply blank white CR80 smart cards and PVC ID cards for access-control, printing and encoding applications. Suppliers should have products compatible with Legic encoding and the ability to provide the required bespoke modifications. The requirement also favours businesses that can support product maintenance and provide clear information about their available range. The platform is intended to create a diverse, competitive supply base, so several capable suppliers can participate rather than one exclusive provider. Organisations with experience supplying secure identification or access-control card products to public-sector or other high-volume customers are likely to be well placed, alongside SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises with suitable production, fulfilment and support capacity. ## Notice Unite Procurement UK Limited (part of Unite Holding SE), on behalf of the Ministry of Defence, is seeking suppliers to join the Unite Procurement Platform to support the supply of bespoke blank white access control legic smart cards.
