## Summary

Fife Council procured catering equipment servicing, repairs and maintenance for its non-domestic properties across Fife. The requirement covers heavy and light catering equipment and associated servicing work, including planned and reactive maintenance. It is a public-sector facilities maintenance service, classified under CPV 50883000 for repair and maintenance services for catering equipment. Fife Council is the buying organisation and a central purchasing body. The work supports the operation of council properties rather than supplying catering itself. The requirement was arranged as a direct call-off from the ESPO Heavy and Light Catering Equipment Service and Maintenance Framework, with one lot covering the full service. Businesses suited to this opportunity would therefore need to provide catering equipment maintenance and repair services across council premises in Fife.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. The award was made to Lovat's Group Ltd, an SME, for the single lot. The contract value is £1,220,000. The contract was signed on 17 September 2026 and is active. The service period is two years. The requirement was evaluated through a direct call-off from the ESPO Heavy and Light Catering Equipment Service and Maintenance Framework, although the recorded procurement method is open procedure. One bid was received, submitted electronically, and it was from an SME. The contract is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. Fife Council is the buyer; Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court is identified as the review body. No options are provided for additional purchases.

For a supplier assessing future work from Fife Council, this award demonstrates demand for a substantial, council-wide catering equipment maintenance service delivered through a public procurement route and an established framework. A credible competitor would need practical capability in servicing, repairing and maintaining heavy and light commercial catering equipment, with sufficient field capacity to support non-domestic properties across Fife. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that delivery is achievable for a focused specialist rather than only a large national contractor. Relevant strengths would include experienced maintenance engineers, responsive fault repair, planned servicing, reliable mobilisation across multiple council sites and the operational systems needed to manage a complete service requirement. Businesses already participating in the relevant ESPO framework would be better placed to pursue a comparable call-off.
