Councils, NHS trusts, schools, universities, housing associations, charities
Councils, NHS trusts, schools and academies, universities, housing associations, charities and public bodies in the UK and Ireland: we supply membership cards, staff and visitor badges, event accreditation and RFID/NFC access cards on a simple written quote, with a proof before production, a VAT invoice from our UK company and delivery duty paid. Below the publication thresholds of the Procurement Act 2023 (currently £12,000 for central government and £30,000 for other contracting authorities), a quotation is all your buyer needs; in Ireland, purchases under €5,000 need no formal quotes and up to €50,000 three quotes are usual.
Valid for 2 months, with product reference, quantity, specification, lead time, price ex-VAT and VAT. Official purchase orders are welcome: send the PO with the signed quote and its number appears on the VAT invoice.
Government Procurement Card (GPC) and other purchasing cards, credit or debit card, or bank transfer. Production starts once payment and the online proof are confirmed. We do not offer 30-day terms after delivery, so this page is for purchases compatible with payment on order: purchasing cards, imprest accounts, departmental budgets.
VAT invoice from OFICIO LTD (Company No. 12676003, VAT GB357610493, London N1), also available in your online account. For Irish bodies with a VAT number, intra-EU reverse charge applies where relevant. Tracked delivery duty paid to the UK and Ireland: no customs surprises.

Why this page exists
A public buyer has no time to chase a printer for an invoice in the right format or a missing PO number. Since 2009 we have produced cards and badges for public bodies of every size in France and the UK: we know what a finance team, a school office or a facilities manager expects, and we provide the documents before they are asked for.
