Summary of the contracting process

The East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust (ENHT) has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "ENHT - Patient and Retail Sandwiches." This procurement, conducted through a mini competition under the Food to Go framework by NHSSC, focuses on the provision of prepared sandwiches. The procurement method used was selective, through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £186,000, will span from 30 June 2025 to 29 June 2027, with the possibility of an optional two-year extension. The award for this contract was made to Tiffin Sandwiches Limited, a large-scale supplier, on 17 June 2025. Key delivery locations include Stevenage, postcode SG1 4AB, in the United Kingdom.

This procurement provides opportunities for businesses involved in food production, catering, and delivery services, especially those capable of supplying to large organisations like NHS Trusts. With a focus on prepared sandwiches, businesses that specialise in fresh food production and have efficient logistics and distribution capabilities are well-suited to compete in similar tenders. The contract is particularly relevant for small and medium-sized enterprises, although in this instance it was awarded to a large supplier. Nonetheless, such framework agreements often encourage the participation of diverse suppliers, presenting pathways for business growth in the public sector.
