Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is led by FOODBUY EUROPE LIMITED, seeking to establish a non-exclusive framework agreement titled "Food To Go", aimed at supplying NHS trusts in England with patient and retail feeding solutions. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically focusing on food products. The procurement method is classified as an open procedure, and the contract is set to begin on 8 February 2021, lasting until 7 February 2025, with an anticipated value of £42,500,000 over the entire term and about £7,500,000 for the first 24 months. The tender was published on 10 September 2020, with the tender period scheduled to close on 5 October 2020.

Companies in the food and beverage industry that specialise in ready-to-eat solutions or patient feeding services would be especially well-suited to compete. The framework agreement's substantial value highlights the potential for significant business growth for successful suppliers who can meet the demands of the NHS Trusts involved.
