Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hartlepool College of Further Education procured coffee machines, a coffee-bean grinder and the associated products needed to make and serve hot drinks. The supply covers coffee beans, cups, filters and other sundries, alongside the equipment. This is a goods requirement in the coffee, tea and related products category (CPV 15860000), for the college in Hartlepool. The procurement was made through The University Caterers Organisation hot beverage framework, under its coffee and hot-beverage products arrangement. It is therefore relevant to suppliers able to provide both commercial coffee equipment and the ongoing consumables used with those machines, rather than to firms supplying only general catering products or unrelated beverages.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a limited procedure without a prior call for competition, using a TUCO framework lot. Price was the stated evaluation criterion. Matthew Algie & Company Ltd was awarded the requirement on 11 August 2026, with an active contract valued at £35,000. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026. The published outcome records one bid, submitted by an SME. The associated lot is recorded as cancelled, although the award and contract are recorded as active. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement, and the stated rationale was that the award was made through TUCO Framework CAT11068-TU Lot 5.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Hartlepool College of Further Education for an integrated coffee-service supply: machines, grinding equipment, beans, cups, filters and other consumables. A credible future competitor would need to support the full equipment-and-supplies requirement, rather than offer a single product line. The successful supplier was recorded as an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist business of that scale. Experience supplying commercial coffee equipment and compatible consumables, together with the operational ability to maintain consistent supply of everyday hot-drinks products, would help establish credibility when this buyer next reviews a similar need. Familiarity with the TUCO hot-beverage framework route would also be relevant to competing for comparable college requirements.
