Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by London Metropolitan University concerns the "Supply & Installation of Catering Equipment for HOTc", classified under the catering equipment category within the goods industry sector. It is located at London Metropolitan University on Holloway Road, London. The procurement stage reached the award phase, with the contract being signed and active as of 21st July 2025. The process utilised a limited procurement method, with the contract awarded through further competition under the ESPO Framework, bypassing the need for a call for competition due to its classification outside the directive’s scope.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in catering equipment supply and installation, particularly those capable of working collaboratively with construction teams. It includes the supply, installation, and commissioning of first-floor kitchen and catering equipment, necessitating training of client staff, and coordination with the main contractor during the wider project construction. Ideal candidates are businesses focused on quality methodologies, logistics strategies, training delivery, and providing social value, as these factors weigh heavily in the award criteria alongside competitive pricing. With this detailed focus, SMEs within the catering industry can find lucrative prospects for growth through such specialised procurement opportunities.
