Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Barnsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust aimed at the provision of retail sandwiches for their volunteers café has reached the award stage. The contract, valued at £60,000, falls under the services category and specifically within the prepared sandwiches industry. The procurement was completed through a direct method, specifically a single tender action below threshold. The contract period for the awarded supplier, Luncheon Express, is set to commence from 2nd March 2026 and will conclude on 31st March 2027. The project is located in Barnsley, United Kingdom, with the postal code S75 2EP, and was finalised just before the tender period closed at the end of 2025.
