Summary of the contracting process

United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust bought coffee and associated sundries for use at its hospital sites. The requirement covers the supply of these goods to Trust sites in Lincolnshire, including the Lincoln area. This is a goods procurement focused on coffee, with related sundries included; it is not a catering or café service contract. The buyer is the NHS Trust, which uses the supplies across its sites. The procurement was structured as a call-off from an existing framework, so the selected supplier was appointed through that route rather than through a standalone open competition. The requirement provides a clear example of recurring institutional demand for coffee and related consumables within an NHS trust.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to ENTEGRA EUROPE UK LIMITED on 11 September 2026. The award value is £200,000, and the contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. The procurement was a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The estimated procurement range was £30,000 to £200,000, with the stated values taking account of extensions and options; take-up of those extensions or options was not guaranteed. The tender deadline was 27 August 2026 at 12 noon. Small and medium-sized enterprises were identified as suitable suppliers. Coffee and associated sundries were evaluated as one requirement; no separate lots or award criteria are recorded in the procurement details.

For suppliers of coffee and related consumables, this award shows that United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust buys these products for its hospital sites through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply coffee and sundries reliably across multiple institutional locations, with the operational capacity to fulfil routine demand and manage deliveries to Trust sites. The stated SME suitability indicates that smaller suppliers were considered capable of competing, provided they can meet the Trust’s supply requirements. Suppliers already appointed to relevant frameworks may be well placed to compete through the same purchasing route. The award went to ENTEGRA EUROPE UK LIMITED, demonstrating that a framework supplier was selected for this requirement. This is evidence of demand for these particular goods, rather than for broader catering services.
