Summary of the contracting process

The Mid and South Essex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is in the process of continuing its catering services through a two-year contract with Compass Contract Services (UK) Ltd, trading as Medirest/Stemplicity. This contract focuses on providing inpatient meals and extends from the previous arrangements in order to maintain stability during a significant restructuring of the Trust. The procurement method chosen was a limited procedure without prior publication, with the agreement signed on 27 September 2021, and the implementation set to start on 1 November 2021. The project is classified under the Catering Services category (CPV code 55520000) within the services procurement category, with its operations based in Basildon, UK.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses focused on catering and food service, particularly those with capabilities in managing hospital meal provisions. Suppliers experienced in delivering large-scale catering services, particularly in health and hospital environments, will find this contract of significant interest. The stability being maintained in catering services during the Trust's restructuring means that suppliers who can guarantee continuity and quality of service will be valuable contenders in future procurement processes linked to the Trust's catering needs.

Notice Title

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust

Notice Description

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust ("MSE") intends to enter into agreement with Compass Contract Services (UK) Ltd t/a Medirest/Stemplicity for a two year catering contract for inpatient meals.

Lot Information

Fully managed in-patient meal catering service

In-patient meals

Extension of the current contract(s) for a further 2 years to allow for the continued provision of catering services to Southend University Hospital (Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust), including the extension of the Steamplicity offering at Basildon and Broomfield Hospitals (Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust)

Procurement Information

The Trust relies on the ground set out within Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) (Use of the negotiated procedure without prior publication) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Following the formation of the Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, the Trust are carrying out a significant restructuring process. The Trust has therefore concluded that a period of stability is required in its catering services, to ensure that this critical service can continue to be delivered with the same personnel and processes in place, until such time as the major change programme is completed. A change of catering supplier at this stage would introduce significant risk, at a time when there are already substantial projects (each with their own significant risks) under way.
