Description

Mercateo 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 Aircraft Training Environment solutions.

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

This specific opportunity focuses on the supply and ongoing provision of products and services that contribute to a high-fidelity Aircraft Training Environment, enabling simulation, instruction, and operational readiness for aircrew and ground personnel. The selected supplier(s) will be expected to provide equipment, software, and associated materials or support services that enhance the realism, safety, and technical accuracy of aircraft training scenarios.

We welcome reliable and experienced suppliers who can deliver scalable and adaptable training solutions, including but not limited to: mock-up aircraft components, cockpit simulations, virtual or augmented reality modules, instructional aids, and maintenance training equipment. All offerings must meet relevant military, safety, and quality assurance standards.

Successful applicants will be required to list the agreed products on to the Unite Procurement Portal. Further details can be found on the attached onboarding link. Please contact us with any enquiries.
