UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Borough of Telford & Wrekin is procuring servicing and responsive maintenance for kitchen catering equipment across approximately 50 schools. This is a works contract covering planned servicing and reactive repairs to catering equipment used in school kitchens. Delivery is across the borough’s schools in Telford and Wrekin, with participation reserved for organisations located in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is the Borough of Telford & Wrekin, a local public authority. The requirement is relevant to contractors that maintain commercial catering and kitchen equipment, particularly those able to provide scheduled servicing and respond to equipment faults across multiple school sites. The procurement classification identifies construction work, although the stated scope is specifically catering-equipment servicing and response maintenance.

The process reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 15 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers had to be submitted electronically by 23 September 2026 at 12:00 through the Telford & Wrekin tender portal; no other submission method was accepted. The estimated value is £400,000 excluding VAT and £480,000 including VAT. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with an option to renew for one further year, to a maximum end date of 31 March 2031. A single lot is evaluated on 70% price, 10% quality, 10% social value and 10% environmental considerations.

This opportunity suits specialist commercial catering-equipment service and maintenance contractors with the operational capacity to support around 50 schools. Suppliers should be able to organise planned servicing, diagnose faults and provide responsive maintenance across multiple locations, while maintaining consistent service quality for school kitchen operations. Experience managing geographically distributed customer sites and coordinating attendance around education settings would be commercially relevant. The evaluation gives most weight to price, but quality, social value and environmental performance each contribute to the decision, so bidders should be prepared to demonstrate a credible service approach and relevant social and environmental commitments. Businesses must register on the council’s tender portal and keep their core supplier information current on the Central Digital Platform, including completing information used to assess exclusion grounds.
