Summary of the contracting process

Unite Procurement UK Limited, representing the Ministry of Defence, is currently in the tender stage for the procurement of white goods. They seek suppliers via the Mercateo Procurement Platform, which offers a compliant route for UK Public Sector entities to manage procurement of low-value, high-volume goods. The tender invites suppliers to provide a variety of domestic appliances such as refrigerators and dishwashers, meeting UK and EU standards for energy efficiency and product safety. Suppliers must ensure delivery across multiple locations in the UK. The procurement method is selective and involves catalogue purchase. Interested suppliers should note the tender period ends on 29th August 2025, with the contract running from 1st September 2025 to 31st August 2026.

Furthermore, suppliers with robust logistical networks capable of handling varied order sizes across the UK will find themselves well-positioned to compete. The Mercateo Procurement Platform facilitates broad visibility to public and private sector buyers, enhancing the potential reach for participating businesses. This tender encourages ongoing registration beyond initial deadlines, thus offering continued opportunities for businesses to expand their market presence within the UK public sector.
