Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust has awarded an extension of the contract for the supply of delivered ready-prepared meals. This falls under the industry category of meal-serving services, with the project being situated in various locations including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, and Europe. The procurement process was conducted through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £836,608.76, commences on 1 April 2025 and concludes on 31 March 2026. The tender stage has been completed, with the award being made to Apetito Limited, a large-scale supplier based in Trowbridge, Wiltshire.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for companies operating within the food services industry, particularly those with capabilities in delivering ready-prepared meals on a large scale. Businesses well-suited to compete in similar future tenders would include large-scale meal service providers with the ability to meet rigorous delivery schedules across diverse locations. Despite not being suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specifically for this contract, it demonstrates the potential volume and value in public sector catering services.
