Summary of the contracting process

Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust procured a lease of vending machines. The requirement is for vending-machine equipment supplied under a leasing arrangement for use by the hospital in Northampton. The procurement covers one lot and is categorised as goods; the equipment is identified as vending machines (CPV 42933000).

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust awarded the single-lot contract directly, without competition, to Tower Leasing Limited. The award date was 3 September 2026, when the contract was also signed. The contract runs from 3 September 2026 to 2 September 2031, for a value of £17,026.80 excluding VAT (£20,432.16 including VAT).

For suppliers assessing future vending-machine leasing requirements from Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust, this contract demonstrates demand for leased vending machines as a single, straightforward goods requirement. The buyer used a direct award without competition, and the selected supplier was Tower Leasing Limited. A credible competitor would need to provide vending machines through a leasing arrangement and support a multi-year hospital requirement. The award gives a concrete indication of the type of supplier and delivery model the Trust has selected for this requirement; the published procurement details do not set out further technical, service, accreditation or capacity requirements.
