Summary of the contracting process

The Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is seeking tenders for the provision of takeaway meals for its staff, requiring 500 meals per day, delivered seven days a week, including Bank Holidays. The procurement is classified under prepared meals, with an estimated contract value of £100,000. The tender period concludes on 19 January 2021, and the contract will commence on 1 February 2021, lasting until 31 March 2021. The procurement method is a competitive quotation below threshold, aimed at attracting small and medium enterprises as well as voluntary and community sector entities, with the delivery location specified as Kettering in the East Midlands region of the UK.

With an expected high volume of daily deliveries and a focus on quality packaging and labelling, those with experience in large-scale meal provision will find this contract a potential avenue for business growth.

Notice Information

Notice Title

GB-Kettering: Takeaway Meals for Staff

Notice Description

The Trust requires five hundred (500) takeaway meals per day, seven (7) days a week, including Bank Holidays, for staff to re-heat at home or during their night shift. Seventy percent (70%) of meals should be meat-based and meat must be Halal. Thirty percent (30%) of meals must be vegetarian. There must be dairy-free and gluten-free options included in both options. Each container of food must provide a "home cooked" feel and the contents support satiation and satiety considering most staff will be working 12 hour shifts. Each meal must be individually packaged - one meal for one person. The packaging for each meal must be substantial enough that it can be transported e.g. home or to a ward area and suitable for re-heating in a microwave (no decanting required). Each meal must be properly labelled with a list of ingredients and instructions such as use-by dates, allergen information, storage guidelines and re-heating instructions. Meals must be delivered at 17:00 each day in a refrigerated vehicle and all relevant documentation supplied and signed for. Further details on the requirement and information on how to submit a bid can be found on the Delta e-procurement portal (https://www.delta-esourcing.com) with the reference 559389684 at Kettering General Hospital. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
