Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has completed the procurement process for the "Provision of Thinking Wall Dividers" within the industry category of whiteboards (CPV code: 30195910). The tender, conducted under the legal basis CELEX 32014L0024, followed a limited procurement method, meaning it was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, valued at GBP 15,733.32, was signed on 8th April 2025 and involved delivery within the United Kingdom. The successful supplier is Akhter Computers Limited. Initially, the process took into account three quotes and selected the lowest one, leading to the award on 9th April 2025. However, it is worth noting that the lot associated with this procurement was later cancelled.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in office supplies, particularly those offering innovative solutions such as thinking wall dividers. Companies with competitive pricing strategies and an ability to meet specific procurement requirements without the need for broad competitive calls may find similar future contracts attainable. The Ministry of Defence, as a buyer, often involves substantial contracts that can enhance the supplier's portfolio and credibility in the public sector market. Businesses with a track record of reliability and quality in delivering goods similar to whiteboards should be encouraged to monitor and participate in such procurement opportunities.
