These items are coordinated through vendor-managed inventory systems within GWR engineering depots across the United Kingdom, specifically in the South West region (UKK14). The contract was awarded on 15th June 2026 to CROMWELL TOOLS LIMITED after a competitive flexible procedure. The procurement method used was selective, indicating a competitive yet restricted tendering where only a certain number of suppliers were considered during the two-stage procedure involving a Procurement Specific Questionnaire and an Invitation to Tender. The total contract value amounted to £6,000,000, spanning a three-year period from 1st July 2026, with potential extensions possible until 30th June 2031, contingent upon satisfactory performance and service delivery. This contract presents substantial opportunities for large-scale suppliers in the engineering goods industry, particularly those specialising in consumables and tooling inventory management. Suppliers capable of offering innovative storage solutions and efficient supply chain management through online catalogues and vending systems are well-suited for such tenders. Additionally, companies that uphold high quality and technical standards, coupled with competitive pricing strategies, can leverage this opportunity for business growth. The structured collaboration and long-term potential of the contract further incentivise businesses to maintain high performance and develop strong partnerships with contracting authorities like FIRST GREATER WESTERN LIMITED. The terms for payment are 30 days for SMEs and 60 days for larger suppliers, which may affect cash flow planning for potential bidders. ## Notice Provision of engineering consumable items through vendor managed inventory, with fasteners provided through bin systems at depots and online catalogue for ordering of tools ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: If performance of contract is maintained, and a collaborative relationship developed ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/056361-2026 | | Notice type | UK6 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Competitive flexible procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Jun 2026 | | Submission deadline | 23 Nov 2025 | | Future notice date | 15 Jul 2025 | | Award date | 14 Jun 2026 | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2026 - 30 Jun 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,000,000 | | Lots value | £1,000,000 | | Awards value | £5,000,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | FIRST GREATER WESTERN LIMITED | | Locality | WILTSHIRE | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN1 1HL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK71 Swindon | | Local authority | Swindon | | Electoral ward | Central | | Westminster constituency | Swindon South | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | CROMWELL TOOLS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) ### Codes - 44510000 - Tools - 44530000 - Fasteners - 44800000 - Paints, varnishes and mastics - 44830000 - Mastics, fillers, putty and solvents ## Release History - 15 Jun 2026 at 16:38 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/056361-2026 - 28 Oct 2025 at 15:17 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/069048-2025 - 3 Sep 2025 at 15:29 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053664-2025 - 2 Jun 2025 at 16:47 - Planning - UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/029325-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/056361-2026 15th June 2026 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/069048-2025 28th October 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053664-2025 3rd September 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/029325-2025 2nd June 2025 - Planned procurement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - http://redirect.transaxions.com/events/Man13 - http://www.GWR.com - https://www.cromwell.co.uk - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
