How materiq works
A structured, trust-first approach to B2B food material sourcing in the UK.
Register your business
Complete the registration form with your company details, food safety certifications, and material categories. One account per company for MVP.
Get approved
Our team manually reviews every application. We verify company details, review certifications, and assess suitability. This typically takes 1-2 business days.
Source materials
Once approved, access all three sourcing modules: browse verified surplus on VeriStock, post urgent requirements on SpotBuy, or run competitive tenders on TenderLink.
Connect and transact
materiq facilitates the introduction. Once connected, you negotiate and conclude the transaction directly with your trading partner. All contracts are between buyer and supplier.
Three sourcing modes
VeriStock

SpotBuy
