Summary of the contracting process

Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management procured a Costa coffee machine lease, covering the supply of an electric coffee maker and associated coffee, tea and related products. The requirement also includes installation of beverage-processing machinery and repair and maintenance services for catering equipment. It is a goods-led requirement with supporting services, intended for delivery and use within Northumbria Healthcare’s operating area. The buying organisation is based at North Shields and the procurement is relevant to coffee equipment manufacturers, leasing providers, beverage suppliers, catering-equipment installers and service companies able to support an installed machine. Businesses with a combined capability across equipment supply, consumables and ongoing maintenance would be particularly aligned with the requirement. The stated scope centres on one coffee-machine lease arrangement rather than a broader catering or facilities-management service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. One lot was completed, and the contract was signed on 3 August 2026. The award was made on 4 September 2026 to the supplier recorded in the procurement, and the contract runs from 4 September 2026 to 3 September 2029. Its value is £10,764 excluding VAT, or £12,916.80 including VAT. The contract is active. The award covers the coffee machine lease and related supply, installation and maintenance activities. The recorded supplier is a large organisation, and the award information associates it with Costa Coffee. The evaluation route was therefore a direct, non-competitive award rather than an open tender with scored bids.

For competing suppliers, this award demonstrates a defined healthcare-facilities requirement for a leased branded coffee machine supported by consumables, installation and equipment maintenance. A credible future competitor would need to provide reliable commercial coffee equipment, structure and manage a lease, arrange installation and maintain catering machinery throughout the operating period. The requirement also points to the value of supplying the related coffee and tea products rather than treating the machine as a standalone equipment sale. Relevant experience would include servicing installed beverage equipment, managing planned and reactive repairs, and supporting consistent supply to a healthcare facilities-management customer. Providers with national or regional service coverage, dependable maintenance response and established beverage-supply arrangements would be well placed when this type of requirement is next considered.
