Summary of the contracting process

Norse Commercial Services Limited has concluded the "Multi-Temperature Food 2025" procurement process for the supply and delivery of multi-temperature food across regional lots in the East of England. The contract, valued at £23,295,000, will span two years starting from 2nd January 2025, with an option to extend it by up to 36 months. Notably, the procurement followed an open procedure, and the tender's complete status was cemented with the award decision published on 18th March 2025. The contract covers the food, beverages, tobacco, and related products sector under the CPV classification 15000000.

This procurement opportunity presents a significant growth potential for businesses in the foodservice delivery sector, particularly those with the capability to manage and deliver multi-temperature food. Although the procurement process has already been awarded to Thomas Ridley Foodservice, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were considered eligible, highlighting the inclusive nature of the tender. Such contracts can help businesses scale operations, expand market reach, and build robust supply networks within the public sector.
