Summary of the contracting process

The University of Keele has completed a procurement process for the supply of light catering equipment and related products. This contract, titled "Contract for the Supply of Light Catering Equipment," falls within the "goods" industry category and is classified under the CPV code 39311000. It was a call-off from the TUCO framework agreement (CAT11064-TU) and operated under Lot 1 - Light Catering Equipment - One Stop Shop. The contract is set to run from 1st July 2026 to 30th June 2028, with two optional 12-month extensions available. The tender process, selective in nature, was concluded with an award dated 26th June 2026. The location for the delivery is Keele, England, postcode ST5 5BG, with the contract having a minimum value of £60,000 and a total potential value of £120,000.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses in the light catering equipment sector to partner with a reputable institution such as the University of Keele. It is particularly beneficial for businesses that can provide a comprehensive selection of catering equipment through a tailored supply chain solution. The procurement method involved a selective call-off, suggesting that companies familiar with framework agreements, especially those catering to educational institutions, would be well-suited to engage. While large-scale suppliers like Nisbets Limited and Alliance Disposables Limited were awarded roles, there is potential for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to explore future opportunities within similar contracts, especially those capable of offering competitive pricing and high-quality products adaptable to the needs of university catering services.
