The procurement was initiated via a Request for Quotation following an Expression of Interest process, targeting a below-threshold procurement method. The contract has been awarded to Thirstywork Ltd, with a contract term from 2 February 2026 to 1 February 2028, and potential extensions subject to specified conditions. This contract, classified under the category of goods, relates to the industry category of food, beverages, tobacco, and related products.

This contract represents significant growth opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those specialising in water cooler supplies and related equipment within the food and beverages sector.
