Summary of the contracting process

Brunelcare bought servicing, repairs and maintenance for kitchen and catering equipment across eight of its sites. The equipment covered includes gas and refrigeration systems. The work is catering-equipment repair and maintenance, delivered across Brunelcare’s sites in Bristol and other locations in the South West of England. The requirement covers keeping the equipment in service through maintenance and responding to repair needs; the contract is for services rather than equipment supply or installation. Brunelcare is the buying organisation. The selected supplier, Quality Catering Maintenance Limited, is based in Bristol. This is a single, undivided requirement covering the buyer’s eight sites, rather than separate contracts for different locations or equipment types.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Quality Catering Maintenance Limited. Brunelcare used a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 9 October 2026 and runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027. Its value is £32,550 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement was structured as one lot. The available outcome data does not describe a comparative evaluation or selection criteria; the stated route was an award without competition. An agreed performance measure concerns quotation turnaround. The award covers catering equipment repair and maintenance, with work across the buyer’s eight sites.

For suppliers considering similar work for Brunelcare, the demonstrated requirement is practical maintenance and repair capability across a multi-site care organisation, including kitchen equipment, gas systems and refrigeration. Credibility would depend on being able to service this range of equipment and respond to repair needs across several sites, rather than offering equipment supply alone. The selected provider is an SME based in Bristol, showing that a locally based specialist can deliver the requirement. Quotation turnaround is an agreed performance measure, so the ability to assess repair needs and return quotations promptly is commercially relevant. The route used for this procurement was a below-threshold direct award without competition; experience and readiness to support Brunelcare’s operational sites would therefore matter when establishing a relationship with the buyer.
