How to Read This Tender
- 1The notice is an invitation to join a supplier platform rather than a traditional closed tender – focus on the registration steps and the information they ask you to provide.
- 2‘Bespoke’ means the cards must be supplied blank but capable of Legic encoding; ensure your product can meet the CR80 size and security specifications.
- 3Check the email subject line requirement (TSS 790 Opportunity) and keep a copy of all correspondence for audit purposes.
- 4Note that no sole‑supplier will be appointed – multiple suppliers will be accepted, so competition is on price, quality and capability, not on winning a single contract.
- 5Look for any referenced documents or links (not provided here) that will detail the onboarding process, data security requirements and any performance metrics.
Tips for Small Businesses
- Register early to get on the rolling‑basis shortlist – early suppliers often get priority for first orders.
- If you don’t produce Legic‑encoded cards yourself, consider partnering with a specialist sub‑contractor to meet the requirement.
- Highlight any UK‑based manufacturing, sustainability or social‑value credentials – the platform values a diverse and responsive supply base.
