The tender is classified under the industry category of Apparatus for sound, video-recording and reproduction, and is focused on goods procurement through a selective method via catalogue purchase. This opportunity, published on 22nd January 2026, aims to onboard multiple suppliers to ensure diversity and competition. The procurement focuses on delivering audio systems throughout the United Kingdom with a contract period from 28th February 2026 to 26th February 2028.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for suppliers dealing with outdoor audio systems, such as speakers, microphones, and amplifiers, and those providing maintenance services. It is particularly suitable for SMEs and VCSEs due to its characteristics as a low-value, high-volume procurement. Suppliers can benefit from the continuous onboarding process offered by the Unite Procurement Platform, potentially enhancing their supply chain flexibility and market presence. This is an excellent opportunity for businesses with modification capabilities and modern technological features, such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, to showcase their product offerings and to establish a lasting partnership with the Ministry of Defence and associated public sector organisations.
