Summary of the contracting process

North Ayrshire Council used Scotland Excel facilities frameworks to buy a range of facilities-related supplies and services for its operations in Irvine and across North Ayrshire. The requirements covered cleaning equipment; commercial catering equipment; first-aid supplies; repair and maintenance of catering equipment; and water coolers. The work falls within general public services and is classified under CPV 75110000. This was a cumulative framework purchasing exercise rather than one single delivery project. Suppliers included DMG Floorcare Ltd for cleaning equipment; Bunzl UK Ltd trading as Lockhart Catering Equipment and Instock Disposables for commercial catering equipment; Aero Healthcare Ltd and Fast-Aid Products Limited for first aid; Merchant City Refrigeration (Scotland) Ltd for catering equipment repairs and maintenance; and AquAid Franchising Ltd and Eden Springs UK Ltd for water coolers.

The procurement is complete and the outcome has been recorded through an annual cumulative award. It used an open procedure and Scotland Excel facilities frameworks. The purchasing period ran from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026, with the contract signed on 1 April 2025. The recorded contract value is £634,022. Spend by requirement was £32,893 for cleaning equipment, £518,262 for commercial catering equipment, £12,048 for first aid, £44,887 for catering equipment repair and maintenance, and £25,932 for water coolers. The commercial catering award was made to Bunzl UK Ltd trading as Lockhart Catering Equipment and Instock Disposables; the other requirements were awarded to the suppliers listed above. Eight bids were received, all from SMEs and submitted electronically.

This outcome indicates recurring council demand across several practical facilities categories, with a particularly substantial requirement for commercial catering equipment. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would need to provide dependable equipment supply, catering-equipment repair and maintenance, first-aid products, water-cooler services or professional cleaning-equipment supply, depending on their specialism. The award also shows that the buyer uses Scotland Excel facilities frameworks and awards work to multiple specialist suppliers, so framework access and the ability to fulfil a defined category are commercially relevant. Competitors should be able to support public-sector purchasing, manage routine deliveries or servicing across North Ayrshire, and submit bids electronically. The participation of eight SMEs indicates that smaller specialist businesses can compete where they can demonstrate suitable capability and capacity.
