Summary of the contracting process

Caledonian Sleeper Limited is procuring works to redevelop the existing guest lounge kitchen area at Fort William. The aim is to introduce a guest food offer by replacing the current kitchen equipment with suitable catering-grade equipment and improving storage. The works include provision of lockable cupboard space and ambient, refrigerated and freezer facilities. This is a commercial kitchen refurbishment and catering equipment installation opportunity, classified under CPV 45212500. The buyer is Caledonian Sleeper Limited, a rail organisation based in Inverness. The requirement is focused on upgrading a defined kitchen area rather than delivering a wider catering operation or ongoing food service. It should therefore be relevant to contractors that combine kitchen refurbishment, commercial catering equipment supply and installation, and storage-fit-out capability.

The procurement has reached tender: Caledonian Sleeper Limited invited suppliers to submit offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender deadline is 21 August 2026 at 16:00, when bids are also scheduled to be opened. The requirement is a single lot with an estimated value of £50,000 excluding any stated currency conversion. The contract period is 180 days. Bids must remain valid for 360 days after submission, and variants are not allowed. Submissions must be in English. Electronic payment and electronic ordering will be used, while electronic invoicing is permitted. The published tender includes an invitation to tender, a scope document and a detailed drawing. The contract is not described as renewable or recurrent.

This opportunity suits established commercial kitchen refurbishment contractors, catering equipment specialists and fit-out firms able to manage a complete small-scale redevelopment. Relevant capability includes removing and replacing existing kitchen equipment, specifying and installing catering-grade appliances, and designing or fitting practical storage for lockable cupboards, ambient goods, refrigeration and frozen goods. Suppliers should be able to coordinate building works, equipment installation and finishing activities within a defined guest-lounge environment at Fort William. The requirement will favour businesses that can provide a coordinated site team, manage delivery and installation, and work from tender drawings and a detailed scope. It is likely to suit contractors with experience in hospitality, rail, transport, public-facing or other operational catering settings, particularly those able to deliver a complete kitchen upgrade rather than supply equipment alone.
