This onboarding will establish a flexible, competitive supply base for low-value, high-volume procurement. The Unite Procurement Platform (Unite \| Simplify indirect procurement with our smarter platform) provides a compliant route to market for UK Public Sector organisations to source approved products efficiently and transparently. ### Scope of Supply • Item: NVG-compatible finger torches • Quantity: 1,425 units • Use case: Field operations requiring hands-free, low-signature illumination ### Security and Sourcing Given operational sensitivities and supply chain assurance, priority will be afforded to UK-based suppliers and manufacturers to maintain supply chain integrity and reduce dependency on overseas sources. Non-UK suppliers may be considered where risk and assurance requirements are fully met. ### Background NVG finger torches are critical for discrete, task-level illumination in contested and training environments. Suppliers should demonstrate experience supplying defence, blue light, or similarly regulated sectors, with proven capability in quality management, traceability, and ongoing product support. ### How to Apply Interested suppliers should contact Unite Procurement UK Limited to register interest and provide: • Company profile and certifications (e.g., ISO 9001), product conformity (CE/UKCA where applicable) • Product specifications confirming NVG compatibility, mounting method, modes, runtime, power, IP rating, and materials • Evidence of prior defence or regulated-sector supply • Delivery plan for 1,425 units, including lead times, production capacity, and logistics to UK destinations • Warranty terms, returns handling, and maintenance/repair options (if applicable) • Pricing proposal, including any volume breaks and spares/accessory options Further details on Unite onboarding will be provided upon expression of interest and can also be found at [mercateo.co.uk](https://www.mercateo.co.uk). ### Multi-Supplier Approach Unite Procurement UK Limited does not intend to appoint a sole supplier. Multiple suppliers may be onboarded to ensure competition, resilience, and choice for the MoD and associated organisations. ### Timelines Suppliers are encouraged to express their interest by the stated closing date for early consideration. Applications to join the Unite Procurement Platform are welcomed on a rolling basis thereafter. Unite Procurement UK Limited reserves the right to review and onboard suppliers continuously to meet evolving requirements. ### Contact For enquiries and expressions of interest, please email: Please include "Unite Onboarding - NVG Finger Torches (Qty 1,425)" in the subject line and reference relevant technical specifications in your submission.
