Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire New University procured the rental of water coolers, including servicing and maintenance twice a year. The requirement is for a managed supply rather than a one-off equipment purchase, with ongoing maintenance as part of the service. Delivery is associated with the university’s High Wycombe location.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to BWT UK Ltd on 1 October 2026. The recorded award value is £0. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 July 2029. The tender submission deadline was 15 July 2026 at 16:05. The procurement is classified as a service; no lot breakdown or evaluation criteria are stated in the published information.

For suppliers considering similar work for Buckinghamshire New University, this award demonstrates demand for water-cooler rental bundled with twice-yearly servicing and maintenance. A credible competitor would need to provide the coolers as a rental service and have the capacity to carry out scheduled maintenance throughout the contract. The incumbent, BWT UK Ltd, is based in High Wycombe, indicating a local supplier has been selected, but the available details do not establish that proximity was a selection requirement.
