Built for those who must account for every pound

Fragmented tail spend, unevidenced buying and mounting compliance mandates are costing UK public bodies more than they realise, in value, in audit risk, and in unmet social-value targets.

Unite consolidates your indirect procurement into one governed, compliant platform, framework-backed via RM6202, and without disrupting the systems you already operate.

About the framework RM6202

A direct call-off, not a new tender

RM6202, the Tail Spend Solution, launched in January 2022 as the first framework of its kind: a route for ad hoc, low-volume, low-value goods not covered by other contracts.

It is a closed framework that permits direct award, with call-off contracts of up to four years, open to all UK public and third-sector organisations: central government, the NHS, education, local authorities and some.

In December 2024 its scope expanded to absorb the former Buildings Materials & RM6202, and framework management now sits with the Government Commercial Authority. Working with Unite through RM6202 is a direct call-off, no new procurement.
