This project took place in the South West region of the United Kingdom, with the procurement entering the award stage. The competitive quotation method was utilised, categorised as limited procurement due to its below-threshold nature, with the tender period concluding on 12th March 2026. The contract period spanned from 13th March 2026 to 14th March 2026, valued at £24,750.

This tender presents growth opportunities for SMEs, as the procurement was deemed suitable for such businesses.

Classic Cooling Services, an SME, was awarded the contract, indicating that businesses with expertise in cooler maintenance and removal may find this sector lucrative. The process emphasises that firms capable of providing competitive quotations in this specialised area have a potential chance of securing similar contracts.
