Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured a supply of miscellaneous goods and services through the TailSpend framework, including office equipment and filing supplies. The requirement is described broadly rather than as a specific item list. Delivery covers the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories, Europe and the rest of the world. This is a goods procurement managed by the Ministry of Defence.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to UNITE PROCUREMENT UK LIMITED. The award was made on 18 January 2024, for £95 million. The contract period runs from 12 February 2024 to 11 February 2027. The Ministry of Defence used a selective call-off from the RM6202 TailSpend framework. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable to participate. The published procurement information does not set out a more detailed evaluation basis or divide the requirement into lots.

For suppliers preparing to compete for comparable Ministry of Defence TailSpend requirements, this award demonstrates demand for a broad range of goods and services, including office and filing equipment, with delivery potentially spanning the UK and overseas locations. A credible competitor would need the breadth to source and supply varied requirements, and the logistics and fulfilment capacity to serve geographically dispersed destinations. The award went to a large supplier through a framework call-off, so experience operating within framework arrangements and managing varied public-sector orders would be relevant. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable, making this a potential fit for capable SMEs as well as larger suppliers. The requirement's general description points to the importance of flexible supply capability rather than a single specialist product.
