Summary of the contracting process

Hopwood Hall College is procuring a computer numerical control (CNC) machine, classified as machine tools (CPV 42600000). The requirement is for the supply of equipment rather than construction or a service contract. The machine is associated with the college’s Rochdale Campus at St Mary’s Gate, Rochdale, England, postcode M24 6XH. The stated procurement is for one CNC machine, with the detailed technical requirement set out in the specification. This is relevant to manufacturers, authorised machine-tool suppliers and specialist engineering equipment businesses able to provide CNC machinery for an education and training environment. The buyer is Hopwood Hall College, which operates from its Rochdale campus and is the organisation purchasing and using the equipment.

The procurement has been completed following an open procedure. Bids were due by 15 July 2026, and the award was made on 17 July 2026 to XYZ Machine Tools Ltd. The awarded contract value is £114,236, against an estimated procurement value of £115,000. The contract period runs from 16 July 2026 to 30 November 2027. One supplier is recorded for the requirement, and the award is active. The process was categorised as a goods procurement. The published information records the award outcome but does not set out a weighted evaluation breakdown. This is therefore a completed purchase of a CNC machine by Hopwood Hall College, rather than an opportunity still progressing towards supplier selection.

For a supplier assessing future demand, this award demonstrates that Hopwood Hall College purchases specialist CNC machine-tool equipment for its Rochdale operation. A credible competitor would need to supply a complete CNC machine matching a detailed technical specification, and to support delivery and contract obligations across a period extending beyond initial installation. Relevant businesses include CNC manufacturers, machine-tool distributors and engineering-equipment specialists with a proven ability to supply colleges or other organisations requiring reliable training or production machinery. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so smaller specialist suppliers may be commercially relevant. Experience in education-sector equipment supply, technical product support, commissioning and customer service would strengthen a future offering, provided it directly matches the college’s specification.
