## Summary

Supply Chain Coordination Limited, located in London, UK, is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process titled "Vending Solutions." This initiative falls under the industry category of food, beverages, and tobacco products, with specific classifications for vending-machine ingredients and vending machines. The primary objective is to establish a comprehensive Framework Agreement for various vending solutions across several UK regions including UKC, UKD, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKJ, UKK, and UKI45. Key activities include engaging with the market from 26th June 2026 to 22nd October 2026 through Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) and request for information processes, leading up to a planned contract commencement on 4th October 2027 and lasting until 3rd October 2035. The procurement status is 'planned', and prospective suppliers are encouraged to register on the NHS Supply Chain's eProcurement portal to participate in this opportunity.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly SMEs and VCSEs, to expand their operations by supplying products such as cold drinks, snacks, confectionery vending machines, and associated services like maintenance and smart technology solutions. The division of the Framework Agreement into various lots will allow specialised suppliers to compete effectively, fostering innovation and diversification in their offerings. Firms engaged in food and beverage vending, machinery installation, and reverse vending technology are well-positioned to benefit from this contract valued at approximately £120 million. Participation in the early market engagement process not only opens avenues for entering the UK's public contracting market but also provides valuable insights into evolving service requirements in this sector.
