Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by NHS Supply Chain: Food, managed by Supply Chain Coordination Limited, involves a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the supply of "Food To Go" products across various regions including the UK and British Overseas Territories. This DPS, intended for a duration of at least seven years, caters to procurement under categories like Patient Feeding Solutions and Café Retail Feeding Concepts, with applications open until 20 September 2030. The procurement stage is at the "Award" stage, with contracts awarded between June and August 2025 amounting to £78,831,476. The procurement is conducted through a selective method, allowing businesses to apply for various product categories based on their capability and adherence to mandatory criteria.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and socially oriented enterprises to engage with NHS Trusts by providing a steady demand for food products and related services. Businesses specialising in ready-to-eat meals, snacks, and beverages are particularly well-positioned to compete, benefiting from the extensive reach of the DPS in both domestic and international markets. The award recipients such as Tiffin Sandwiches Ltd, On a Roll Sandwich Company Ltd, and Raynor Foods exemplify how SMEs can leverage this platform to expand their market presence by partnering with healthcare institutions like The Christie NHS Foundation Trust and Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, amongst others.
