The university, located in Cardiff, sought goods related to food industry machinery to replicate a factory environment at their Food Industry Centre. The procurement method was direct and below threshold, executed without competition. The contract was awarded on 12th May 2026 to RSS Hereford, a large supplier located in Hereford, for an active period from 19th May 2026 to 18th June 2026, with a gross contract value of £60,000. The completion of this tender was recognised by the award status being marked as active.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of specialised food processing machinery, especially those catering to educational or research institutions. Companies that provide industry-standard machinery, such as ice-cream machines and related equipment, and those skilled in replicating industrial processes in educational settings are well-suited to such contracts. Although this particular procurement process was completed directly and without competition, understanding such tender requirements can help businesses position themselves for future opportunities in similar niche markets within the public sector.
