Summary of the contracting process

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), a public authority under the central government, is currently in the tender phase for the procurement of an Electric Forklift Truck. This contract, identified as C403881, includes both the purchase and maintenance of the forklift. The tender process, which follows an open competition procurement method under the "Below Threshold" category, is actively seeking submissions. The procurement, with a total estimated value of £30,000 (gross), is specifically oriented towards the goods category within the industry and will deliver to the United Kingdom. Interested parties should ensure submissions are complete by 19th January 2026, with any enquiries to be resolved by 14th January 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses within the industrial and vehicle maintenance sectors, particularly those specialising in forklift trucks and related technologies. Due to the nature of the procurement method and the emphasis on both price and quality, smaller enterprises with competitive pricing and strong technical offerings could gain a substantial business foothold. Companies providing innovative solutions in the maintenance and servicing of industrial vehicles will also find this tender appealing, given the inclusion of potential service extensions. Engaging with this contract could drive business growth through a valuable association with a major government entity.
