## Summary

Gloucestershire Hospitals Subsidiary Company Limited is procuring a planned preventative maintenance service for its dishwasher and ware-washing equipment. The requirement covers the repair and maintenance of catering equipment used across the buyer’s hospital operations, including the assets covered by the service contract. This is a specialist catering-equipment maintenance requirement rather than a general facilities-management contract. The work is categorised as repair and maintenance services for catering equipment (CPV 50883000). The buyer is based in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, and the service relates to equipment in the Gloucestershire hospital estate. The procurement was managed for the buyer by Lifecycle Procurement Services, acting as a procurement advisory service on behalf of Commercial Services Kent Limited.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award. Meiko UK Limited was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The award value is £180,930 excluding VAT, or £217,116 including VAT. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2027, with signature scheduled by 7 September 2026. The buyer states that the requirement was tendered in 2024 but no compliant bids were received, and that no supplier other than Meiko could support all assets. The direct-award rationale cites unique supplier capability and technical reasons. The lot was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although the selected supplier is Meiko UK Limited.

This award demonstrates established demand from Gloucestershire Hospitals for specialist planned preventative maintenance of dishwasher and ware-washing equipment across a hospital catering environment. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable expertise in commercial catering equipment, including inspection, servicing, repair and preventative maintenance of dishwashers and associated ware-washing assets. The buyer’s stated rationale indicates that full-asset coverage and technical capability were decisive, so suppliers would need to show that they can support the complete installed equipment base rather than only selected models or individual sites. Relevant operational experience in healthcare or other high-throughput catering settings, responsive engineering support, appropriately qualified maintenance staff and the capacity to maintain service continuity would strengthen a competing proposition. The opportunity is suitable for SMEs, but the incumbent’s asset knowledge is a significant competitive factor.
