Rationale
On 6 July 2026, Pattersons (Bristol) Limited informed NEPO that it was experiencing financial difficulties and was unable to fulfil its contractual commitments under the Framework Agreement or support any Contracting Authorities seeking to utilise the Framework. NEPO met with the Supplier on 7 July 2026 to discuss its financial position and ability to continue delivering the requirements of the Framework. Following this discussion, NEPO took the decision to suspend Pattersons (Bristol) Limited as the Primary Supplier for Lot 6 (Light Kitchen Equipment) to allow the Supplier to focus on its existing commitments. The Supplier was advised that, should it fail to respond to NEPO's reasonable attempts to establish contact within a two-week period, NEPO would consider termination of its appointment under the Framework. Formal notification of the suspension was issued on 16 July 2026. Despite repeated attempts to contact the Supplier, NEPO received no response. As at 25 August 2026, NEPO undertook further due diligence, including verification through Companies House records, which confirmed that Pattersons (Bristol) Limited had entered administration. In light of the Supplier's insolvency and its inability to continue performing its obligations under the Framework Agreement, NEPO has taken the decision to remove Pattersons (Bristol) Limited from the Framework. This modification enables the continued operation of the Framework and ensures that Contracting Authorities retain access to alternative appointed Suppliers for the provision of Lot 6 requirements.
