Summary of the contracting process

NHS Ayrshire & Arran is seeking a fully managed vending service covering beverage products and associated services. The supplier will provide and manage the vending offer across East, North and South Ayrshire. This is a goods procurement for vending products and service provision, classified under vending-machine and beverage-related equipment (CPV 42930000). The requirement is presented as a single lot, so the service is procured as one package rather than separated into regional or product lots. The buyer is the health board NHS Ayrshire & Arran. Suppliers should consider whether they can deliver a managed vending operation across all three Ayrshire areas, including the supply of beverage products and the service capability needed to support that operation.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission via the Scottish procurement postbox. The bid deadline was 2 November 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2031, with no renewal or additional-purchase option indicated. Bids must remain valid for 90 days, and variants are not allowed. The tender includes one lot covering the fully managed vending service. The award decision period was scheduled to start on 6 November 2026 at 12:00. No estimated contract value or detailed evaluation weighting is recorded in the contracting information; the buyer provided economic and technical selection criteria documents and a cost template. English is the submission language.

This opportunity is suited to vending operators and beverage suppliers able to take responsibility for a managed service across East, North and South Ayrshire for a multi-year contract. Bidders need to combine product supply with the operational capability to manage vending provision, rather than offering products alone. The buyer also asks bidders to set out community benefits they would deliver if successful, particularly fair-work commitments such as recruiting or promoting jobs in Ayrshire and employability targets for specific groups. Proposed contributions may also include upskilling through work-experience placements, training opportunities and subcontracting opportunities in Ayrshire. These commitments form a relevant part of the bid proposition, alongside the technical and economic information and cost submission. No particular accreditation or minimum capacity requirement is stated in the available procurement details.
