This award shows established NHS demand for a broad food-to-go supply capability spanning both patient feeding and café retail operations. Relevant suppliers would need to provide a dependable range of chilled, frozen and ambient food products, including sandwiches, salads, fillings, bakery products, hot and street food, desserts, drinks and snack pots. The requirement also encompasses branded equipment associated with included food brands, so suppliers able to coordinate equipment with food supply may be well placed.
