Public Sector

Acme are pleased to supply councils, prisons, hospitals and the emergency services throughout the country. We supply a wide range of services from one off items through to a full turnkey fit-out project.

Local Council Supply Contracts

In a constantly expanding sector we currently supply over 30 local councils with refrigeration and catering equipment. The number of councils purchasing from Acme is growing as word spreads of the excellent service we offer, resulting in recommendations from one council to another.

What Acme can offer the Public Sector:

  • Fast sales response to the initial enquiry
  • Access to over £2 million worth of stock held locally
  • A delivery fleet of 10 vehicles available with experienced drivers/installers
  • Deliveries made within 3 - 5 working days and in most cases sooner
  • National deliveries with all the benefits of local service
  • Removal and safe disposal of existing equipment (fully licensed)
  • Fully qualified service back up available to cover the warranty period

Acme recently tendered for the ESPO Contract (East Shires Purchasing Organisation) and against very tough competition were successful in becoming part of their supply framework this opens the door to a further 40 councils.
