Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield Hallam University is at the helm of a procurement process concerning the provision of coffee supplies and machinery. This tender involves the delivery and replacement of coffee machines across eleven city centre locations to enhance campus life and the student experience at the university in Sheffield, region UKE32. The process is within the industry category of goods, specifically coffee beans. The procurement method is selective, utilising a restricted procedure under the legal framework CELEX 32014L0024, and is covered by the GPA, ensuring adherence to international standards. Initially announced on 19th August 2025, the tender's submission deadline was set for 15th September 2025, marking the completion of the active tender stage.

This procurement presents a significant business development opportunity, particularly for suppliers specialising in high-quality coffee and equipment provision. Companies within the coffee industry that focus on delivering assortments suitable for 'bean to cup', 'bulk brew', and espresso-based drinks prepared by baristas are well-poised to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises with the capacity for innovation in coffee delivery solutions stand to benefit, given the buyer’s emphasis on both pricing and quality—forming critical award criteria. Businesses that can comply with mandatory requirements and exhibit flexibility in supply terms through the TUCO Framework (Lot 5) will have an advantageous positioning in this procurement landscape led by Sheffield Hallam University.
