The procurement, titled "2025-058 Catering Consumables, Maintenance and Support Services," falls under the goods category and employs a direct procurement method, conducted below the threshold without competition. The process, having reached the award stage as of 5th June 2026, resulted in a contract awarded to The Office Company Limited, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) located in Cheltenham. The contract is active, spanning from 1st May 2026 to 30th April 2028, with potential renewals extending to April 2030. The total value of the contract is approximately £185,000.
