Summary of the contracting process

The Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust has completed a procurement process for the lease of a coffee machine, valued at £37,060.38 including VAT. This procurement falls under the 'goods' category within the public authority central government industry, specifically focusing on electric coffee makers. Located in Bath, UK, the Trust utilised a limited competition procurement method for this tender, which was below the financial threshold.

This tender represents a lucrative opportunity for businesses supplying specialised goods within the catering and appliances sector, particularly those focusing on providing equipment like coffee machines under lease agreements.
