Summary of the contracting process

In the procurement process for the "Provision of a catering dishwasher at Darlington Memorial Hospital," Synchronicity Care Limited (SCL), based in Peterlee, England, acted as the buying organisation. Classified under the "Dishwashing machines" industry category with CPV code 39713100, this procurement was labelled as "award" and was completed through a direct award, as allowed under the Procurement Act 2023. The procurement process concluded with an active award on 7th August 2025 to P & N Associates Limited, a supplier located at Blaydon-On-Tyne. The contract covered a period from 11th August to 10th September 2025, highlighting the urgency and necessity of replacing a condemned machine within SCL's catering department. The tender was valued at £28,620 and targeted the North East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in industrial kitchen equipment, particularly those experienced in handling urgent installations of specialised machinery. The situation highlighted by SCL—where existing solutions were found unsuitable—emphasises the potential for businesses that can offer quick, economically viable solutions to complex needs. Companies like small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can provide efficient and budget-conscious solutions would find themselves well-suited to leverage such opportunities. This procurement could catalyse business growth by allowing suppliers to demonstrate their capacity to deliver bespoke solutions under stringent timelines, thereby enhancing their reputation and expanding their clientele base within the public health sector.

Notice Title

Provision of a catering dishwasher at Darlington Memorial Hospital

Notice Description

Synchronicity Care Limited (SCL) have a requirement for the provision and installation of a double hooded, flight dishwasher to replace a single condemned machine within the catering department at Darlington Memorial hospital. Following review, SCL's facilities department were unable to identify a suitable option from the quotes provided, with pricing being out of budget or not meeting the requirements set out in the request. Due to the urgency of the requirement and service being impacted from the lack of a machine currently, the most appropriate procurement route was to complete a direct award under the Procurement Act 2023 regulations to P&N Associates.
