Description

Unite Procurement UK Limited (part of Unite Holding SE), on behalf of the Ministry of Defence, is seeking suppliers to join the Mercateo Procurement Platform to support the provision of bulk construction materials for the Defence School of Transport (DST) in Leconfield, East Riding of Yorkshire.

The Mercateo Procurement Platform (www.mercateo.co.uk) offers a compliant route to market for UK Public Sector organisations to manage low-value, high-volume procurement.

DST delivers military driver training and vehicle license acquisition across a dedicated 770-acre driver training estate. The ongoing maintenance of this estate requires a constant and reliable supply of basic construction aggregates.

Suppliers must be able to provide the following materials, delivered as required to DST, Leconfield:

MOT Type 1: up to 4,000 tonnes per year
Whitewall Cobble: up to 1,000 tonnes per year
Pea Gravel: up to 1,000 tonnes per year
Topsoil: up to 1,000 tonnes per year
Ready Mix Concrete: up to 500m³ per year

Suppliers should demonstrate:

Proven capability to deliver the specified quantities reliably throughout the year.
Compliance with all relevant UK standards for aggregates and construction materials.
Ability to deliver to DST's site in Leconfield, East Riding of Yorkshire.
Willingness to transact via the Mercateo Procurement Platform.

How to Apply

Interested suppliers should register their interest by contacting Unite Procurement UK Limited and provide details of their product range, delivery capabilities, and relevant certifications. Further information on the onboarding process for the Mercateo Procurement Platform will be provided upon expression of interest.

Unite Procurement UK Limited does not intend to appoint a sole supplier for this requirement. Instead, multiple suppliers may be onboarded to the Mercateo Procurement Platform to ensure a diverse and competitive supply base, supporting flexibility and choice for the Ministry of Defence and associated organisations.

Suppliers are encouraged to express their interest by the stated closing date to ensure early consideration. However, applications to join the Mercateo Procurement Platform will be welcome at any time beyond the initial deadline. Unite Procurement UK Limited reserves the right to review and onboard new suppliers on a rolling basis to meet evolving requirements and to maintain a dynamic and responsive supplier network.
