Researchers tracking border technology and public procurement
Worth noticing
Entries include proposals as well as contracts, and the register tracks whether deals are awarded, disputed, suspended, or under review.

Field notes

The register separates systems such as API/PNR, e-visas, eGates, biometrics, and passenger screening, and lets readers filter by funding and deal status. Its listed records include proposals and terminated or disputed deals as well as awards and operating programmes; the homepage says 66 entries have audit, court, or parliament records. The site also provides navigation to its method, guides, country and vendor indexes, and a change log.
