## Summary

Kirklees College is procuring vending machines and associated vending-machine ingredients for use across all seven of its sites. This is a goods requirement covering the supply and provision of automatic vending machines, suitable for a supplier that can support a multi-site college estate across the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Kirklees College, based in Huddersfield. The requirement is focused on vending equipment and the products needed to operate it, rather than construction, professional services or general catering. Businesses specialising in vending-machine supply, installation or operation, and suppliers able to provide vending ingredients alongside equipment, should consider this opportunity relevant.

The process has reached tender: Kirklees College invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The enquiry deadline was 28 September 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline is 5 October 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission is allowed through MultiQuote, with registration required to access the opportunity. The procurement comprises one lot. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with extensions permitted for two further 12-month periods, up to 31 October 2031. Its estimated value is £10,000 excluding VAT, or £12,000 including VAT. Evaluation is based on pricing at 55% and quality at 45%.

This opportunity suits vending-machine businesses and specialist suppliers able to provide automatic vending equipment together with the ingredients required for those machines. The supplier will need to support delivery across seven Kirklees College sites, so relevant multi-site fulfilment, servicing, replenishment or operational arrangements are likely to be important to a competitive offer. The requirement is expressly identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it potentially accessible to smaller specialist operators as well as larger vending providers. Businesses with experience supplying colleges, education estates or other distributed customer sites may be well placed to demonstrate the quality and reliability sought under the quality element of evaluation.
