## Summary

The recent procurement process involves the provision of water coolers under the ESPO Framework Agreement 900_22, targeting the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire and Cheshire Fire Authority as contracting parties. This procurement was conducted by the Cheshire Constabulary with Culligan (UK) Limited as the successful supplier. The process is now in the award stage, having been completed with the notice of award published on 20th January 2026. The contract value is split into two segments, £27,639.72 for the Police and Crime Commissioner and £6,909.93 for the Cheshire Fire Authority, starting on 1st October 2025 and ending on 30th September 2028. The industry category is focused on goods, specifically water coolers, spanning regions including the UK and several territories globally.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for suppliers involved in manufacturing or supplying water coolers, as it covers a significant geographical area and suggests robust business prospects with public authorities. Although the procurement is not particularly geared towards SMEs or VCSEs, companies experienced in working within public frameworks or with an established logistical capability across various regions will find this opportunity well-suited for growth. Being part of the ESPO framework allows for streamlined processes, facilitating ease of entry for suppliers into the public sector market.
