Summary of the contracting process

The University of East Anglia has engaged in a public procurement process for the supply of hot beverages, equipment, and maintenance services at their Norwich campus located at the Norwich Research Park, Norwich, United Kingdom. The procurement was initiated through an open competitive flexible procedure under the identifier PURCON 5029, with a contract valued at approximately £733,000 gross. The procurement initially involved market engagement with potential suppliers in November 2025 and progressed through planning, tender, and award stages, culminating in the award on 23 June 2026 to the Nairobi Coffee and Tea Company Limited. The contract period is set from 20 July 2026 to 19 July 2030, with an option for a one-year extension.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the beverage supply and maintenance sector, particularly those specialising in coffee products, equipment leasing, and related services. Companies with capabilities in installation services for beverage-processing machinery and those able to meet the recurrent service and maintenance demands specified by the contract will find this project an ideal prospect. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with a focus on quality product offerings and after-sales support stand to benefit significantly from such engagements, aiding in their expansion within the public sector market.
