RFID Tenders and Contracts

RFID procurement covers library self-service kiosks, security gates and book tagging, and RFID asset tracking systems for medical equipment and surgical instruments, along with the readers, tags and software behind them.

Stotles brings together RFID tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. Library RFID is bought as supply-and-install projects with support renewed separately, sometimes through frameworks such as ESPO and APUC, and NHS trusts tender asset tracking systems.

RFID systems must handle personal data in line with UK data protection law, and readers must meet radio equipment regulations. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar supply contracts at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

Library work is bought as supply-and-install projects, with support and maintenance renewed as separate contracts, and some runs through frameworks such as ESPO and APUC. Councils and universities buy library RFID systems, while NHS trusts and health boards buy asset and instrument tracking.

Yes. NHS trusts have run RFID tenders to track surgical instruments and medical equipment, tag assets across theatres and wards, and trace instrument trays through sterilisation. Several of these have gone to award rather than staying open.

Read digital and technology strategies, licence and contract renewal dates, architecture reviews and early market engagement notices, which show RFID work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.

RFID notices carry 30162000 (Smart cards), 30233300 (Smart card readers) and 48730000 (Security software package) for readers and authenticators, and 72222300 (Information technology services) for asset tracking systems. Library kiosk notices often carry only the general 30000000 (Office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies except furniture and software packages).
