Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

TUCO Ltd procured three self-fill vending machines with an accompanying maintenance service. This is a goods requirement covering the supply, installation and ongoing upkeep of vending equipment, classified as vending machines (CPV 42933000). Delivery is associated with TUCO Ltd in Manchester and a broad operating footprint: the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The requirement is therefore relevant to vending machine manufacturers, distributors, operators and maintenance providers able to support equipment across multiple locations. The machines are self-fill units, indicating that replenishment is handled by the buyer or its service users rather than by a fully managed vending operator.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective restricted procedure. The tender submission deadline was 23 July 2025 at 13:11. TUCO Ltd awarded the contract to Alpine Vending Co. Ltd on 24 September 2025 for GBP 15,391. The contract period runs from 9 October 2025 to 8 October 2028. The award is active and the tender status is complete. This is a single requirement for three self-fill vending machines with maintenance provision. The recorded award value is for the selected supplier and must not be treated as a wider programme total. The process was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from TUCO Ltd for self-fill vending equipment supported by maintenance over a multi-year operating period. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply reliable vending machines, understand self-fill operation and provide responsive maintenance across a geographically broad footprint. Relevant experience would include installing and servicing comparable machines, managing spare parts and breakdown response, and supporting equipment across the United Kingdom and other stated territories or locations. The requirement favours suppliers with sufficient operational reach, service capacity and financial resilience to support multiple sites. Specialist vending manufacturers, national distributors and maintenance-led providers may be well placed, while smaller organisations may find the buyer’s stated suitability position restrictive.
