Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Hertfordshire Catering Limited (HCL) is currently engaged in a Pre-Procurement Market Engagement (PPME) process concerning their upcoming procurement for the supply of Ambient, Frozen, and Chilled Food, as well as Fresh Meat and Poultry. This initiative is part of HCL’s preparation for a new contract, as the existing one is set to expire soon. The PPME is intended to gather feedback and explore market options, paving the way for future procurement decisions. The engagement period for this process ends on 26th August 2022, with the contract anticipated to commence on 27th August 2022 and conclude by 30th September 2022. This project falls under the 'goods' category within the food and beverages industry and is located in Hertfordshire, United Kingdom.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses within the food supply sector, particularly those specialising in ambient, frozen, and chilled food products, as well as fresh meat and poultry. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate in the PPME; however, there are no advantages granted to any specific supplier at this stage. This early engagement is designed to help HCL build stronger partnerships and improve their food offerings for their extensive customer base in educational institutions and commercial units across Hertfordshire. Businesses that can provide innovative, high-quality food solutions are well-positioned to contribute and potentially thrive in the upcoming procurement process.

HCL currently has an existing contract in place for the supply of Ambient, Frozen & Chilled, and Fresh Meat & Poultry, but this will expire soon. The current contract covers the full range of Ambient, Frozen & Chilled, and Fresh Meat & Poultry. This Pre-Procurement Market engagement provides an opportunity to research the choices that are available in the market which have the potential to meet our needs and enhance our menu.

For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and the Council is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process.
