What is being bought
HMCTS is undertaking preliminary market engagement to explore options for establishing a national vending contract across England and Wales in 2025 under the Procurement act 2023. This initiative builds on the existing vending provision across HMCTS, aiming to streamline and standardise vending services nationwide while leveraging economies of scale in procurement. The objective is to ensure consistent access to high-quality vending provisions for catering in courts, aligned with a minimum service offering. HMCTS is considering various procurement routes, including existing frameworks, DPS, or an open procedure. As part of this process, HMCTS seeks to engage with experienced suppliers to explore nationwide royalty/cost-sharing models, routes to market, vending design and mobilisation requirements with knowledgeable suppliers.
