Summary of the contracting process

East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust procured a Multigen M hostess trolley for catering operations, supplied with a five-year warranty. This is a goods requirement for catering equipment, intended for delivery in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, at the location identified by postcode SG1 4AB. The purchase was made through the NHS Supply Chain Catering Consumables and Equipment 2021 framework. The equipment is likely intended to support the Trust’s food service activities, including the handling, presentation or distribution of meals, although the procurement does not describe the operational setting in further detail. The requirement is therefore relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of commercial catering equipment able to provide Multigen M hostess trolleys and associated warranty support within an NHS framework arrangement.

The procurement has been completed through a selective call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open competition. The tender deadline was 31 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 9 September 2026 to Burlodge Limited for £39,283.80 including the stated contract value, with a contract period from 11 September 2026 to 11 October 2026. The tender estimated a minimum value of £35,000 and an upper value of £39,283.80, both in GBP. The award is active and the contract process is complete. The published outcome identifies Burlodge Limited as the selected supplier. The procurement was not marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises, and no lot structure or separate evaluation criteria are recorded.

This award provides a clear indication of East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust’s demand for specialist meal-service equipment and its use of an NHS Supply Chain framework to buy it. Suppliers competing for comparable requirements would need to provide commercial catering equipment suited to healthcare food-service environments, with dependable delivery and a warranty service capable of supporting the equipment after installation. Credibility would also depend on access to the relevant framework route or the ability to work through an authorised framework supplier. The selected supplier was Burlodge Limited, an SME, showing that a specialist smaller business can satisfy this type of requirement despite the procurement being marked as unsuitable for SMEs. Manufacturers, specialist distributors and service-backed catering equipment suppliers are the closest fit.
