Summary of the contracting process

Sunderland City Council has initiated a procurement process for the "Supply and Installation of Industrial Catering Equipment". This involves setting up a sole supplier framework agreement to manage the supply, delivery, and installation of diverse industrial catering equipment, alongside occasional removal of redundant units. The procurement, managed under an open procedure, was initially active with a projected contract period from 1st December 2025 to 30th November 2029. Located in Sunderland, the contract attracts SME participation with a gross budget of £480,000. However, as of 2nd December 2025, the award process was cancelled, with the assessment of submissions and outcome communication pending. The framework, originally set to benefit various contracting authorities in the Sunderland region, is aligned with UK's legal basis 2023/54.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs specialized in the catering equipment sector. By engaging in this contract, businesses can expand their operational reach and secure their position within the public procurement landscape. Companies experienced in industrial catering equipment supply and installation, as well as those providing maintenance services, are well-suited to compete. Given the fixed pricing of the framework and the absence of reopening competition, suppliers have a stable environment for securing future orders based on performance. The openness of the tender method indicates that businesses eager to deliver high-quality services at competitive prices are most likely to succeed.
