## Summary

The procurement process was initiated by the Police and Crime Commissioner for South Wales, located at Cowbridge Road, Bridgend, aiming to provide hot drinks vending solutions for South Wales Police premises. The process falls under the industry category of coffee, tea, and vending machines, and has been completed as of 19th January 2026. The process used a direct procurement method, categorised as below the threshold and conducted without competition, under the legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54. The contract was awarded to PHIL-A-CUP LIMITED, an SME based in Bridgend, starting from 17th December 2025 and concluding on 30th September 2026, with a gross value of £78,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the supply and maintenance of vending machines and hot beverages. Despite being a direct award, companies specialising in the delivery and servicing of food and beverage vending solutions could find similar opportunities with public authorities looking to streamline services within sub-central government. Enterprises, particularly small and medium-sized businesses with local focus, would be well-suited to compete for future tenders of a similar nature, capitalising on the need for reliable, cost-effective solutions in public service environments.
