Summary of the contracting process

The Borough of Telford & Wrekin bought servicing and responsive maintenance for catering equipment across approximately 50 schools. The work concerns keeping school kitchen and catering equipment operating through planned servicing and repairs when faults arise. It is classified as works, although the stated requirement is an equipment maintenance service. The schools are in the Telford & Wrekin area; the procurement does not identify individual delivery sites. The buyer is the Borough of Telford & Wrekin.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to PP Electrical Services (Shropshire) Ltd, a Telford-based supplier. The contract was signed on 23 October 2026. Its stated value is £400,000 excluding VAT and £480,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with an option extending the maximum end date to 31 March 2031; the stated arrangement is three years plus one. The council used a below-threshold open competition. One lot covered the requirement. Evaluation weighted price at 70%, quality at 10%, social value at 10% and environmental factors at 10%.

This award shows demand from Telford & Wrekin for ongoing catering-equipment servicing and responsive repair across a sizeable school estate. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate the technical capacity to maintain a range of catering equipment across multiple sites, organise planned visits and respond to equipment faults. The evaluation placed the greatest emphasis on price, while also assessing service quality, social value and environmental performance, so suppliers should be able to evidence competitive delivery alongside credible quality and sustainability arrangements and local social value. The selected supplier is based in Telford, indicating that a local supplier can deliver this work; firms outside the area would need to show how they would provide dependable coverage and response across the schools.
