Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process undertaken by Nottingham Trent University focused on securing a sole supplier for the provision of sandwiches and associated products for retail and hospitality over six sites. The tender, titled "Supply of Sandwiches," falls under the industry category for prepared sandwiches. With the procurement process reaching the award stage on 30th June 2026, a contract valued at £1,000,000 was awarded to Simply Lunch, commencing on 6th July 2026 and concluding on 5th July 2030. The goods will be delivered across various locations, including Nottingham, and extend to broader regions such as the United Kingdom and overseas territories. The procurement method employed was non-traditional, classified as "Other -", and aligns with Nottingham Trent University's intention to promote opportunities suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses looking to expand within the hospitality and food supply sectors, especially those with capabilities in large-scale production and distribution of packaged food products. Companies specialising in the transportation and delivery of goods across multiple regions would find this contract particularly advantageous. SMEs with the infrastructure to cater to a diversified consumer base involving universities and similar institutions would be well-positioned to compete. By engaging with such public procurement opportunities, businesses can enhance their portfolio and secure a consistent stream of revenue over a substantial contract period.
