Summary of the contracting process

The Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has successfully completed the procurement process for the "Provision of Delivered Ready Prepared Meals" in collaboration with the Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust. This procurement falls under the NHS Supply Chain Delivered Ready Prepared Meals Framework. The process was executed through a call-off from a framework agreement, categorised under the "Prepared meals" industry (CPV: 15894200). The meals will be delivered to Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom, with a contract period starting from 28th July 2025 to 27th July 2030. The contract was awarded to Apetito Limited on 1st August 2025 for a total amount of £6,599,760 GBP, marking the award stage of the procurement.

This tender represents a significant business opportunity, particularly for large-scale meal suppliers capable of fulfilling long-term delivery contracts in the healthcare sector. Although small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) were not the primary focus in this instance, the scale and scope of such contracts could potentially provide growth opportunities through strategic partnerships or subcontracting arrangements. Companies with expertise in large-scale food preparation and logistics are ideally positioned to leverage similar opportunities in future procurements within the framework.
