## Summary

The Parliamentary authorities, acting jointly through the Corporate Officers of the House of Commons and House of Lords, procured an interim managed vending-machine service for the Parliamentary Estate in Westminster. The requirement covers the supply and ongoing maintenance of vending machines, combining goods with associated services. The equipment is classified as vending machines (CPV 42933000). The work is intended to support vending provision across the estate rather than a single delivery point, serving parliamentary facilities in London. This is a central-government requirement for a supplier able to provide both the physical machines and the practical service support needed to keep them operating during the interim arrangement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to CAMBRIDGE VENDING SOLUTIONS LTD. It used a below-threshold direct award without competition, on an urgent basis. The award is active and the contract was signed on 19 May 2026. The contract runs from 20 May 2026 to 19 November 2027. Its value is £89,442.54 excluding VAT, or £107,331.05 including VAT. The requirement was handled as one completed lot. The contracting authorities are the Corporate Officer of the House of Lords and the Corporate Officer of the House of Commons, acting jointly. The outcome records one selected supplier for the supply and maintenance requirement.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the Parliamentary Estate for managed vending equipment supported by maintenance, with a requirement large enough to cover a sustained interim service across a central London operational estate. A credible future competitor would need to supply reliable vending machines, install or position them across multiple facilities, and provide responsive maintenance and fault resolution throughout the service period. Relevant strengths would include an established vending-machine fleet, operational coverage in London, engineers or service partners able to attend site, and experience managing equipment in a high-profile public-sector environment. The award to an SME indicates that specialist vending businesses can be credible providers when they can combine equipment supply with dependable ongoing support.
