FAP-60 Mobile Biometric Enrolment Devices

The Authority is seeking to conduct early market engagement for the procurement of a multifunctional FAP-60 compliant mobile biometric enrolment (MBE) device. The aim of the proposed solution is to reduce the need for wet ink capture and have a device that can connect to the Authority’s biometrics database to digitally enrol fingerprint and other biographic data. The solution would comprise a fingerprint scanner, which includes MRZ functionality, and can communicate with an Android smartphone. The Authority previously conducted a Restricted Procedure for MBE devices but this did not lead to the award of a contract because a suitable device was not available in the market. The Authority is now planning to start a new procurement but wishes to engage the market first to test and firm up its plans.
