Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust bought food containers, specifically Gastronorm containers for use in its catering operations. This is a goods requirement, classified under CPV 39221130. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s site on Hucknall Road, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, with the procurement location also identified as the East Midlands. The requirement was placed through the NHS Supply Chain framework for Catering Consumables and Equipment 2025. The scope is therefore the supply of standardised catering containers rather than catering services, kitchen installation or other works. Businesses relevant to this requirement include manufacturers, distributors and specialist catering-equipment suppliers able to provide Gastronorm containers for a large NHS organisation and support delivery to the Trust’s Nottingham operations.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. It used a selective procedure as a direct call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Burlodge Limited on 30 June 2026 for £240,000, with the contract running from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2029. The tender submission deadline was 31 May 2026 at 12:00. The award record identifies one supplier and one requirement, with no separate lots reported. The contract was evaluated through the framework call-off route rather than a standalone open competition. The awarded value is the contract value for this requirement; it should not be treated as a wider framework value or combined with other NHS Supply Chain procurements.

This award indicates sustained NHS demand for Gastronorm containers within hospital catering and provides a clear example of the scale and buying route used by Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. A credible future competitor would need to be eligible to supply through the relevant NHS Supply Chain catering consumables and equipment framework, or an equivalent successor route, and able to meet the practical requirements of hospital food-service operations. Relevant strengths include a dependable range of compliant Gastronorm containers, consistent product quality, reliable stock and fulfilment, and the capacity to deliver repeatedly to a major NHS site. Suppliers should also be equipped to manage framework call-off administration and provide responsive account and logistics support.
