UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Tyneside Borough Council procured light kitchen and catering equipment for delivery in South Tyneside. The requirement covers tableware, glassware, cutlery, pots and pans, together with other light equipment used in kitchens and catering settings. The procurement is categorised as goods and concerns kitchen equipment, household and domestic items and catering supplies. The council is based at Town Hall and Civic Offices on Westoe Road, South Shields. This requirement is described as a contingency supplier arrangement, indicating a need for a dependable source of general kitchen and catering equipment rather than construction, installation or specialist catering services.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was a non-competitive, selective below-threshold award under the NEPO502 framework, using a direct award route. Alliance Disposables Limited was selected as supplier, and the contract was signed on 20 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 April 2030. Its value is £108,000 excluding VAT, or £129,600 including VAT. The requirement was presented as one completed lot. The award is for the full light kitchen equipment requirement and is linked to a framework arrangement rather than an open competition. The contract is active.

This procurement indicates recurring demand from South Tyneside Borough Council for a broad range of everyday kitchen and catering supplies, including tableware, glassware, cutlery, cookware and related light equipment. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need reliable access to a broad product range, the capacity to fulfil public-sector orders across South Tyneside, and dependable distribution and stock management. Experience supplying councils, schools, care settings or other institutional catering environments would help demonstrate suitability. Because the council used a framework direct-award route, competitors should understand and monitor relevant framework opportunities, qualification requirements and call-off arrangements. Credibility would also depend on consistent product quality, accurate order fulfilment and the ability to provide contingency supply when required.
