Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council sought a supplier for commercial catering equipment for Leeds Building Services, its in-house provider of construction, repairs and maintenance works for council directorates. The requirement covers catering supplies and is a goods contract. Delivery and use are associated with Leeds Building Services in Leeds. The opportunity is relevant to manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and specialist suppliers of commercial catering equipment able to supply a public-sector maintenance and construction service. The council is the buying organisation and the equipment is intended to support its operational service delivery. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement rather than separate lots, so suppliers would need to provide the full range required under the contract.

The process reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries and offers were due by 18 February 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The planned contract period was 26 February 2026 to 25 August 2027. Its estimated value was £99,000 excluding VAT, or £118,800 including VAT. The contract was to be awarded solely on price: the lowest-priced contractor would rank highest, with price weighted at 100%. The tender was subsequently cancelled. The stated reason was to review the sourcing strategy and ensure alignment with the Procurement Act 2023 and service needs, after which the council concluded that the current procurement should not proceed.

This requirement suits suppliers with an established commercial catering equipment range and the ability to support Leeds Building Services as a council service provider. Businesses positioned to supply a complete catering-equipment requirement, rather than only a narrow specialist item, would be better aligned with the single-contract structure. Suppliers would also need to meet the procurement administration requirement of registering on the Central Digital Platform and obtaining a Public Procurement Organisation Number, which is compulsory during contract award. The award basis favours suppliers able to offer the lowest compliant price. The cancellation means this particular exercise will not proceed, but the stated review may inform how any future requirement is structured.
