Summary of the contracting process

Wychavon District Council bought a replacement chiller for the café at its Civic Centre in Pershore. This is a commercial refrigeration and catering-equipment requirement, covering supply of replacement cooling equipment for the council’s café. The delivery location is the Civic Centre in Pershore, Worcestershire. The council is the buyer and the equipment was supplied by Industrial Refrigeration Services Ltd. The procurement was treated as goods rather than building works or a wider facilities service. It therefore points to demand for suppliers able to provide suitable commercial chiller equipment for a public-sector café setting.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Industrial Refrigeration Services Ltd. The council used a below-threshold limited competition. There was one lot, which is complete. The award is active, and the contract is also active. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026 and runs from 24 August to 4 September 2026. Its value is £88,662 excluding VAT and £106,394.40 including VAT. The award record does not state a separate award date or evaluation criteria, so the outcome and competition route are the available basis for understanding how this purchase proceeded.

For refrigeration businesses, this purchase demonstrates a council requirement for replacement commercial chiller equipment serving a café in a civic building. A supplier competing for similar work would need to show it can supply equipment appropriate to a catering environment and deliver it for installation at a public-sector premises in Pershore. The selected supplier is an SME specialising in industrial refrigeration, indicating that a specialist refrigeration business can compete successfully through a limited competition for this type of equipment. The requirement is a focused equipment purchase rather than a broad catering or building-services contract, making relevant product capability and experience supplying commercial refrigeration central to credibility.
