Summary of the contracting process

NHS Supply Chain is conducting a public procurement process for establishing a non-exclusive Framework Agreement for the supply of Ambient Food products. This involves a comprehensive array of food items, such as canned goods, nutritional supplements, cereals, jams, sauces, soups, custards, condiments, sugars, sweeteners, milk powders, and non-dairy milk alternatives, among others. The procurement falls under the category of goods, specifically classified under "Food, beverages, tobacco and related products" (CPV: 15000000). The procurement stage is currently at the tender update phase, with interested suppliers encouraged to submit their proposals through the NHS Supply Chain eProcurement portal. The tender submission period is set to end on 12th April 2021, with the contract award period commencing from 13th April 2021. NHS Supply Chain, headquartered in London, UK, is the buying organisation for this initiative.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for suppliers in the food distribution and manufacturing industry. Businesses specializing in canned goods, nutritional supplements, cereals, various condiments, dairy alternatives, and edible oils would find this tender highly relevant. The framework agreement allows for a broad participation, including lots tailored for specific product categories, thus enabling both large-scale suppliers and SMEs to compete effectively. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, ensuring a transparent and competitive process. Successful suppliers will gain access to supply NHS entities and potentially other governmental and private sector healthcare entities in the UK, thereby expanding their market reach and commercial footprint.
