Summary of the contracting process

The University of Leeds is buying the supply, installation and commissioning of six Miele PLW 8683 [LD DC10] glasswashers, together with associated accessories. This is a goods requirement for commercial glasswashing equipment, with delivery and installation in the Yorkshire and Humber area. The work covers more than delivery alone: the supplier must install and commission the machines. The contracting authority considers the requirement potentially suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, although tenderer selection is governed by the procurement criteria. Suppliers in commercial catering or laboratory-equipment supply, particularly those able to provide and commission this Miele glasswasher model and its accessories, are the most directly relevant.

The University invited offers through an open procedure. The stated procurement stage is tender: the buyer invited suppliers to submit offers. The submission deadline was 13 November 2026 at 17:00 UTC. The contract period was set to run from 10 December 2026 to 31 July 2028. The estimated value is £50,000 to £100,000. The procurement is for six glasswashers and associated accessories; no separate lots are described. The notice says tenderer selection will be based solely on the criteria set out for this procurement, but the supplied process details do not state those criteria or give an evaluation weighting. No enquiry deadline is stated here.

This opportunity suits suppliers with the capacity to source six Miele PLW 8683 [LD DC10] glasswashers and provide the associated accessories, then complete installation and commissioning at the delivery location. Experience supplying commercial glasswashing equipment and the technical capability to install and commission this specific model would be directly relevant. The requirement is for a defined set of six units rather than an ongoing supply programme, so businesses able to handle a multi-unit equipment order and related on-site work are likely to be well placed. The authority considers the procurement potentially suitable for SMEs, which may make it relevant to smaller equipment specialists as well as larger suppliers. Tenderer selection remains subject to the procurement’s stated selection criteria.
