Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham Trent University has completed a procurement process for the supply of sandwiches, classified under the industry category of goods with the CPV code 15811510. This selective procurement was conducted via a call-off from the TUCO framework agreement, specifically Lot 4: One Stop Shop. The contract, valued at £137,000, commenced on 17th November 2025 and is scheduled to conclude on 17th April 2026. The procuring entity is Nottingham Trent University, based in Nottingham, England, with the delivery location specified as NG1 4FQ. The award stage was reached, and the contract was officially awarded to Tiffin Sandwiches Ltd, a large-scale supplier, on the same day, and published on 2nd December 2025.

This tender represents a notable opportunity for businesses involved in the supply of ready-made food products, particularly large enterprises experienced in fulfilling framework agreement call-offs. Although smaller enterprises and voluntary community social enterprises were deemed unsuitable for this specific procurement, such opportunities illustrate the potential for significant growth within the food supply industry, especially in establishing long-term supply chains with academic institutions like Nottingham Trent University. Businesses looking to engage in similar opportunities should focus on aligning with framework agreements to successfully secure contracts of this nature. Further details and contact information for this procurement are available through the university's procurement office, led by Rachel Coates.
