Digital Datasets for Defence Use

Unite Procurement UK Limited, representing the Ministry of Defence, is looking for suppliers to join the Mercateo Procurement Platform. This platform is designed for UK Public Sector organizations to efficiently manage low-value, high-volume procurement. The focus is on providing digital worldwide small-scale raster and vector datasets (SSRVD) for multiple users within the Ministry of Defence. Suppliers interested in this opportunity should reach out to Unite Procurement UK Limited to express their interest. They need to provide details about their products, support capabilities, and proof of supply chain reliability. More information about the onboarding process for the Mercateo Procurement Platform will be shared upon expression of interest, and additional details can be found on the Mercateo website. Unite Procurement UK Limited plans to onboard multiple suppliers rather than appointing a single supplier. This approach aims to create a diverse and competitive supply base, offering flexibility and choice for the Ministry of Defence and its associated organizations. Suppliers are encouraged to express their interest by the closing date of September 19, 2025, for early consideration. However, applications to join the Mercateo Procurement Platform will be accepted at any time after the initial deadline. Unite Procurement UK Limited retains the right to review and onboard new suppliers continuously to adapt to changing needs and maintain a responsive supplier network.
