UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Tyneside Borough Council has concluded a procurement process titled "Water Machines 2025", focusing on the delivery and maintenance of water dispensing machines across various council sites. The procurement falls under the services category and is based in the UK, specifically in the North Tyneside region. Initially tagged under the tender stage in August 2025, this process has now moved to the award stage as of January 26, 2026, with the contract start date slated for February 1, 2026. This open competition, operating below the threshold, was awarded to Thirsty Work Limited, noting a contract value of £49,680 gross, with an original contract duration ending January 31, 2028, and options for an additional 12-month renewal.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for suppliers in the facilities management and water dispensing sectors. The open competition nature of this tender allows small and medium-sized enterprises to participate effectively, given the procurement’s SME considerations. Companies specialising in the provision and maintenance of office amenities, such as water machines, would find this contract particularly fitting, offering both a stable income stream and the potential for long-term partnership with a public authority - highlighted by the possibility of contract renewal. Engaging in this tender allows suppliers to expand their presence in the public sector market and strengthen their service portfolios.
