## Summary

NHS Ayrshire & Arran is seeking a fully managed vending service supplying beverage and snack products. The requirement covers vending products and services, with vending machines as the main equipment category. Delivery is in Ayrshire. The service is intended for NHS Ayrshire & Arran; the procurement also identifies Kilmarnock Sheriff Court and Justice of the Peace Court as a review body, not as the buyer. The requirement is a single package rather than separately described lots, so suppliers would need to address the managed service as a whole.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The submission deadline was set for 2 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract period is 1,800 days, with no renewal or additional-purchase options stated; the requirement is expected to be tendered again before the contract ends. Evaluation is split equally between quality and price, at 50% each. Supplier suitability requirements are addressed through the SPD module. Bids must be in English and remain valid for 90 days. Electronic ordering and payment are provided for, and electronic invoicing is allowed.

This opportunity suits vending operators able to supply beverage and snack products and deliver a fully managed vending service across Ayrshire. Bidders should be able to demonstrate service quality as well as competitive pricing, since both carry equal weight in evaluation. The buyer also expects bidders to propose community benefits if awarded: fair-work measures such as recruitment and promotion of jobs in Ayrshire, and employability targets for specific groups; and upskilling through work-experience placements, training opportunities and subcontracting opportunities in Ayrshire. Suppliers with the operational capacity to provide these commitments alongside the vending service are well placed to compete.
