Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust bought a supply-chain service for the provision of milk and bread. The requirement covers the supply and delivery of these food products for the Trust’s operations in the United Kingdom. The procurement is classified primarily under milk supply (CPV 15511000), although the requirement also expressly includes bread. The buyer is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, based at 550 Wilmslow Road, Withington, Manchester. This is a service requirement centred on dependable food supply rather than construction, professional consultancy or equipment. Businesses considering comparable NHS opportunities should therefore have relevant capability in sourcing, handling and distributing both dairy and bakery products to healthcare-sector locations.

The procurement has been completed and was awarded on 5 June 2026 to Johal Dairies Limited. The award value is £42,000. The contract period runs from 12 May 2024 to 12 May 2026. The estimated tender value was £35,000. It used a selective procedure, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open standalone competition. The tender submission deadline was 10 May 2024 at 12:00 BST. The available outcome records one active award to Johal Dairies Limited. The procurement was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off route.

This award demonstrates demand from an NHS foundation trust for a combined milk and bread supply arrangement delivered through a framework call-off. A credible future competitor would need established dairy and bakery supply-chain capability, reliable sourcing, food-handling and distribution controls, and the operational capacity to provide regular deliveries to a healthcare organisation. The requirement suits suppliers able to manage both product categories as one service, maintain consistent availability and quality, and meet the administrative and commercial requirements of a framework agreement. Johal Dairies Limited is recorded as an SME supplier, but the procurement itself was not marked as SME-suitable; businesses should therefore assess whether they can provide the scale, resilience and framework access expected for this type of NHS contract.
