Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust has concluded a procurement process for the "Contingency Provision of Patient Ready Meals," with APETITO LIMITED awarded the contract. This procurement, classified under the "Prepared meals" industry category, falls under the selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £200,000, commences on 1 September 2025 and concludes on 3 June 2026, providing services in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The tender stage completed with the award being made on 28 August 2025, following the tender period that ended on 25 August 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for companies that specialise in delivering prepared meals and have the capability to fulfil contracts within the healthcare sector. While the current award favoured a large supplier, APETITO LIMITED, the procurement process was deemed suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), potentially broadening opportunities for similar future procurements. Businesses with strength in logistics, supply chain efficiency, and an understanding of NHS requirements will be ideally poised to compete in similar future tenders.
