Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kirklees College is procuring vending machines and the ingredients or products needed to operate them across all seven of its sites. This is a goods requirement focused on automatic vending provision for the college estate, rather than a construction or general facilities-management contract. The buyer is Kirklees College, based in Huddersfield, England. The procurement covers vending-related equipment and supplies for delivery to the college’s sites. Businesses specialising in vending machines, vending-machine consumables, or combined equipment and product supply should consider this opportunity. The stated classification covers vending-machine ingredients, automatic goods-vending machines and vending machines. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, providing a potential route for smaller vending operators, equipment suppliers and specialist distributors to compete for college work across multiple locations.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The estimated procurement value is £10,000. Bids were due by 5 October 2026 at 12:00 British Summer Time. The resulting contract is intended to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029. The requirement is presented as a single procurement covering all seven Kirklees College sites. Businesses should review the tender requirements and submit an offer in accordance with the stated procedure and deadline. The procurement is classified as a goods purchase. The published opportunity identifies the open procedure and the tender deadline, with the contract period and estimated value forming the main commercial parameters for deciding whether the opportunity fits a supplier’s offering and delivery capacity.

This opportunity is suited to suppliers that provide vending machines, automatic goods-vending equipment, vending-machine ingredients, or a combination of these products. It may fit specialist vending operators, manufacturers, distributors and smaller businesses able to supply a college-wide requirement across seven sites. The multi-site scope favours businesses with the operational capacity to coordinate supply across several locations and maintain consistent product availability between them. Suppliers whose core business is vending equipment or associated consumables can assess the requirement directly against their existing range and delivery model. The procurement is specifically marked as suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist suppliers are among the businesses the opportunity is intended to accommodate. The requirement does not indicate a need for unrelated construction, consultancy or general service capabilities.
