Summary of the contracting process

Caledonian Sleeper Limited is procuring works to redevelop the guest lounge kitchen at its facility in Fort William. The project will introduce a guest food offer by replacing existing kitchen equipment with suitable catering-grade equipment and improving storage. The required storage includes lockable cupboards, ambient storage, refrigeration and freezer facilities. This is a commercial kitchen refurbishment and fit-out opportunity, with the main classification covering construction work for restaurants or similar facilities (CPV 45212500). The procurement is for one package of works, led by Caledonian Sleeper Limited as the buying organisation. It will suit contractors able to carry out kitchen refits and install catering equipment and associated storage within an operational guest-lounge setting.

The buyer invited offers through a tender using an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender submission deadline is 6 October 2026 at 16:00 UTC, with bid opening scheduled for the same time. The contract is expected to run for 180 days, and bids must remain valid for 180 days after submission. The estimated contract value is £50,000 including the stated currency. This is a single-lot works procurement. Bids must be submitted in English, and alternative bids are not allowed. Electronic payment and electronic ordering will be used, while electronic invoicing is permitted. The procurement has reached the tender stage, meaning the buyer has invited suppliers to submit offers.

This opportunity suits a kitchen refurbishment or fit-out contractor with experience of redeveloping commercial catering areas and installing catering-grade equipment. Relevant suppliers will be able to remove and replace existing kitchen equipment, design or deliver practical storage improvements, and provide lockable cupboards alongside ambient, refrigerated and freezer storage. The requirement favours businesses able to coordinate multiple elements of a small works project, including equipment installation, storage provision and the preparation of a guest food service area. Contractors should be capable of working at the Fort William site and delivering a complete, usable kitchen solution rather than supplying isolated equipment only. Catering equipment installers, commercial kitchen specialists and building contractors with suitable hospitality refurbishment experience are likely to be well placed.
