Many of us use office supplies daily no matter what type of business we work in. Whether you’re on site or working remotely, there are a variety of office supplies and equipment needed to complete day-to-day tasks. As the summer months approach, you may start to see an increase in tendering opportunities being published as many schools prepare for the fall and as many agencies begin to clean out and replenish their old supplies. If you sell office supplies and equipment, be on the lookout for these new opportunities being issued over the next several months.
In this article we’ll provide you with tips on how to find these tenders and start getting notified of matching solicitations.
At Home or in The Office, The Need is Still There
Over the past few years, we’ve seen a noticeable shift from working in the office to working remotely, mainly because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but that doesn’t mean the need for office supplies has disappeared. Instead of agencies and departments mainly supplying basic office supplies such as paper, pens, folders, binders, and paperclips, we’ve also seen a shift to larger supplies and equipment such as printers, PC’s, keyboards, desks, chairs, webcams, and charging cords as many employees have set up their workstations at home along with digitalization rising in demand. If you haven’t already, keep an eye out for these open office supplies tenders on merx that could very well be the perfect match for your business.
Recently Closed Solicitations for Office Supplies and Equipment
If you’re looking for tendering opportunities for office supplies and equipment, using a solution like merx is one of the easiest ways to find exactly what you need. With merx you can find open, closed, and awarded solicitations that you can bid on and examine to better prepare yourself for future opportunities. Below are some recently closed solicitations to get a feel for what we can find for your business:

Finding Tenders on merx
Finding office supplies and equipment tenders doesn’t need to be a long, tedious process. With merx you can find all your bidding needs in one location within seconds. As a registered supplier you’ll be able to utilize our “Solicitation Search”, which enables you to search for open, closed, and awarded solicitations that relate to your business. You can also search for tenders by entering in keywords such as “office”, “computers”, “office supplies”, and “desks” to find exactly what you’re looking for. When registering you’ll have the option to select our Local, Regional, or National Package which will determine the volume of tenders you see and what locations you’ll see them in.
Another perk of merx is our “Save Search” feature, which allows you to save your searches based on each keyword you enter that matches what you sell. You can refine your saved search even further by adding additional search parameters such as location, solicitation status, sector, category codes, closing date and more. This will allow you to go back to that search at any time and see what new tendering opportunities have been published. To get full access to all these features, plus the ability to download documents and specifications, you’ll need to register. If you’re not a registered supplier, you can still see a sample of open tenders here, but you won't be able to view all the associated information.
