The procurement is planned to establish a framework to replace an existing framework agreement for the purchase and installation of both light and heavy catering equipment. New lots are also being considered for maintenance of heavy equipment and kitchen design & installation including catering equipment. The duration of the framework is anticipated to be a 4-year framework. The annual spend through the framework (based on the spend on current 4-year framework) is estimated around £6.5 million and approx. £26 million over 4 years.
