Summary of the contracting process

Fife College, based in Dunfermline, has completed a procurement process for the supply of alcoholic and soft drinks to be resold at college-hosted events. The procurement falls under the education industry category, with the college acting as the buying organisation. This contract, titled "Alcohol and Associated Beverages," was executed through a direct award procedure without prior publication, under the Scotland Excel framework for Civic Supplies. The process reached the contract award stage, with the contract signed on 27th March 2026 and valued at £120,000. The delivery location is specified as Fife College’s City Campus, with all operations situated in the UKM72 region.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in beverage supply, especially those looking to service educational institutions. While the contract was directly awarded to Tennent Caledonian Breweries, illustrating a preference for a supplier with a strong local presence and capability to meet specified demands, similar businesses in the beverage industry may anticipate future opportunities by aligning with frameworks like Scotland Excel. Businesses with the capacity to provide high-quality beverages and those adept in catering to educational or similar institutional settings might find such contracts attractive for growth and expansion in the public sector procurement market.
