Summary of the contracting process

East Riding of Yorkshire Council purchased coffee machines for cafés in its leisure centres. This is a goods procurement for electrical equipment used in café operations, with the requirement covering coffee machines rather than catering, facilities management or café staffing services. The buying organisation is East Riding of Yorkshire Council, based in Beverley. The equipment is intended for the council’s leisure-centre café estate across England, covering the geographical areas represented by the award’s delivery locations. The procurement was arranged as one requirement, rather than separate publicly described product categories. Businesses relevant to this requirement include suppliers of commercial coffee machines and associated electrical catering equipment able to supply equipment for use in leisure-centre café environments.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to BESTIR LIMITED, a small or medium-sized enterprise. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and is active from 5 August 2026 to 30 September 2026. Its value is £54,330 excluding VAT and £65,196 including VAT. The award covers the purchase of coffee machines, classified under electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables. The contract has one supplier and one awarded requirement. The recorded procurement route was limited competition below the applicable threshold. The process was evaluated through that competitive route, with the award now active rather than cancelled or unsuccessful.

This procurement demonstrates demand from East Riding of Yorkshire Council for commercial coffee machines to support café services in leisure centres. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply suitable electrical coffee-making equipment for public-facing café environments and understand the practical needs of leisure-centre operations. Relevant capability would include a product range appropriate for repeated commercial use, dependable supply arrangements and the capacity to serve a council requirement across multiple English delivery areas. Suppliers should also be able to compete through a limited below-threshold procedure, present a clear equipment offer and demonstrate that their machines are suitable for the intended café setting. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large national contractor.
