## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has awarded a contract for a "Fully Managed Vending Service" to J.D.J. Vending Services Ltd. This procurement, classified under the category of goods, specifically vending machines, was conducted under an open procedure method. The contract entails the installation and maintenance of vending machines, available continuously throughout the year, to provide confectionery, snacks, cold drinks, and hot drinks. The vending machines will service NHS Wales staff, patients, and visitors. The contract, valued at GBP 3,254,056.20, was signed on 1 May 2025 and covers regions including UKL21, UKL16, and UKL2. The tender process had been active in December 2024, with key procurement stages including a tender period that closed on 13 January 2025.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in vending services with the capability to deliver high-quality service, as outlined by the award criteria which focussed on technical quality (60%) and price (40%). Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) particularly stand to benefit, given that there were six bids, all from SMEs and specifically from within the EU. This contract can facilitate growth for businesses capable of supplying and maintaining vending machines efficiently while providing a consistent supply of vending-machine ingredients. Companies that can offer seamless logistical operations, innovative vending solutions, and reliable customer service are well-suited to compete in tenders of this nature. With the potential for contract extensions of six additional years, there is a long-term business opportunity for the selected supplier.
