Summary of the contracting process

TUCO Ltd procured seven self-fill vending machines with an associated maintenance service. This is a goods requirement covering the supply and ongoing upkeep of vending equipment, rather than a standalone equipment purchase. The primary classification is vending machines (CPV 42933000). Delivery and service locations include Manchester and the United Kingdom, with the listed coverage also extending to the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man and locations described as the rest of the world. The procurement is associated with TUCO Ltd, based in Manchester. The requirement is relevant to vending machine manufacturers, distributors, installers and maintenance providers able to support equipment across a broad geographical footprint.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a restricted procedure. The tender submission deadline was 17 June 2026 at 12:35. The contract was awarded on 27 July 2026 to Alpine Vending Co. Ltd for £53,800. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 6 September 2029. The award covers the seven self-fill vending machines and maintenance provision. TUCO Ltd is the buyer. The procurement was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The recorded tender status is complete, and the award status is active. The process relates to one requirement, with no separate lot-level values or multiple awarded suppliers recorded.

This award provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting TUCO Ltd’s vending requirements: the buyer purchased seven self-fill machines together with maintenance, through a restricted procedure. A credible future competitor would need to supply suitable self-fill vending equipment and provide dependable maintenance support throughout the operating period. The broad delivery coverage means suppliers should be able to organise installation, servicing and fault response across the United Kingdom and potentially other listed territories and locations. The recorded suitability assessment indicates that the requirement was not aimed at SMEs or VCSEs, so businesses should consider whether they have the operational scale, geographic reach and established service infrastructure expected for this type of contract. Vending specialists with both equipment supply and after-sales capability are the closest fit.
