UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sunderland City Council procured light kitchen equipment under Lot 6 of the NEPO502 Office, Educational and Catering Supplies Framework. The requirement covers goods for kitchen and catering use, including kitchen equipment and catering supplies (CPV 39221000 and 39222000). Delivery is associated with Sunderland, where the council is based. The wider framework serves NEPO member authorities through a multi-lot, multi-supplier arrangement, supporting the continued supply of office, educational and catering products. This particular procurement concerns goods rather than services or construction works, and is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of light kitchen equipment able to supply a public-sector buying organisation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective, below-threshold award under the NEPO502 framework, without a competitive process for this award. The framework’s stated evaluation basis was the Most Advantageous Tender, with primary and contingency suppliers used to support availability. Alliance Disposables Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 1 May 2026, runs from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2030, and has a gross value of £30,000. The award covers the single lot for light kitchen equipment. The contract is active, and the buyer is Sunderland City Council. The arrangement forms part of the framework established for NEPO member authorities.

This award shows established demand from Sunderland City Council for light kitchen equipment supplied through the NEPO502 framework, with service continuity and product availability built into the buying model. A credible future competitor would need a relevant range of kitchen equipment and catering supplies, dependable public-sector distribution, and the capacity to fulfil requirements over a multi-year arrangement. Suppliers should also understand framework purchasing and the practical requirements of serving member authorities through a multi-supplier model. Alliance Disposables Limited is identified as an SME supplier, indicating that businesses of this scale can compete for this type of requirement when they can demonstrate suitable products, reliable fulfilment and the ability to support primary or contingency supply needs.
