This procurement, classified under retail trade services, is currently at the Tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 14th September 2017.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in retail catering services, particularly those looking to expand their presence within health care settings. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this contract particularly suitable, as the units have an established yet underutilised catering service. Companies that can offer innovative catering solutions or enhance the current service models will be well positioned to compete. The successful bidder will benefit from a contracted relationship with a key NHS entity, potentially leading to further growth and collaboration opportunities in the public sector.
