A table of the required products are attached. \r\n\r\nKey Requirements \r\n\r\nSupply of new, original Bren-Tronics batteries, chargers, adaptors, and power cables as specified above. \r\nAbility to provide support and technical advice for the equipment. \r\nDelivery to multiple UK locations as required. \r\nCompliance with all relevant UK and EU regulations for safety and environmental standards. \r\nWillingness to transact via the Mercateo Procurement Platform. \r\n\r\nHow to Apply \r\n\r\nInterested suppliers should register their interest by contacting Unite Procurement UK Limited and provide details of their available Bren-Tronics products, support capabilities, and evidence of supply chain reliability. Further information on the onboarding process for the Mercateo Procurement Platform will be provided upon expression of interest and can also be found at the link above. \r\n\r\nUnite Procurement UK Limited does not intend to appoint a sole supplier for this requirement.
