I have a load of base units without doors on at work.

I'd like to put doors on them but it isn't worth much of a spend, is
there a supplier of the type of naff doors that used to come included
with the base units sold by the sheds?

There are tons of replacement cabinet door companies out there on the
web... wickes and ikea also do them.

Failing that you could make some. The quickest way would be some 3/4"
thick softwood, say 3" wide. Cut a pair of rails and stiles. Pocket
screw them together into a frame, then route a rebate in the back and
drop in a bit of ply or MDF as a panel. Once painted it would look fine.

Not that cheap though IIRC (we looked at this some years back for the
kitchen in the old house.

I used some 18mm MDF to make a couple of bathroom cabinet doors and they
were fine once painted.

Ebay. I got a set (20 odd pieces) of solid oak doors for £50 without
much of a wait. It seems to be one of the few things available in
standard sizes.

B&Q do naff doors. The hinges might not line up but that wasn't a
serious problem on my old Hygena carcasses

the door sizes might be, but the hinge positions aren't

The hinges are normally only set into the door and not the frame. The
frame fixing is onto a flat surface, so can be moved relatively easily.
