Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has concluded a procurement process under the industry category of goods, specifically for the purchase and maintenance of hot food vending machines. The contract award, valued at £100,000, was made on 31st July 2026 to Refreshment Systems Limited, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME), with a contract period spanning from 14th August 2026 to 13th August 2031. This procurement was conducted through a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The vending machines will be delivered to locations within the East Midlands, United Kingdom, including postal code LN2 5QY.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for SMEs within the vending industry, offering a sustained engagement over a five-year maintenance period alongside the initial supply. Businesses specialising in vending machine production, installation, or service, especially those capable of fulfilling long-term maintenance contracts, will find this kind of procurement particularly advantageous. The involvement of SMEs aligns with public sector goals to engage smaller enterprises in public procurement, enabling them to enhance their visibility and exploit growth within the sector.
