## Summary

The University of East Anglia has completed a procurement process for the supply of smartcards for Health and Social Care (HSC) and Medical (MED) students on placements within trusts. The procurement, categorised under goods, aimed to provide students with essential access through smartcards during their placements. The process was carried out using a direct procurement method due to technical reasons, without competition, as it fell below a certain threshold. The awarded contract began on 1st April 2025 and will run until 31st March 2026, with a total value of £51,084. The buying organisation, based in Norwich, operates in the public authority subsector of sub-central government, and the procurement stage is at completion.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in the provision of smartcard technology, particularly those capable of offering bespoke solutions to meet specific technical requirements in the healthcare education sector. Given that the contract was awarded to the North of England Care System Support, a large-scale supplier, businesses of similar scale and those focusing on innovative access solutions for educational institutions would be well-suited to compete in future opportunities. This contract highlights demand within the academic health training environment, suggesting potential for further agreements in related areas as similar needs arise.
