Summary of the contracting process

The Hertfordshire Catering Limited (HCL), a subsidiary owned by Hertfordshire County Council, is initiating a Pre-Procurement Market Engagement (PPME) for the supply of ambient, frozen, and chilled food as well as fresh meat and poultry. This planning stage stems from an existing contract that is nearing expiration, and the aim is to gather input to refine HCL's future procurement strategy. Prospective engagement occurred on 3 August 2022, and while the formal procurement process is not yet commenced, HCL is encouraging participation to understand market options and innovations. The procurement falls under the classification of goods in the food and beverage industry.

This engagement presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the food supply sector to showcase their products and services, particularly those specialising in ambient, frozen, and chilled food items, as well as meat and poultry products. Companies with expertise in catering contracts or local food suppliers may find this market engagement beneficial as it will help HCL shape their requirements and develop procurement strategies. Engaging in this process will allow businesses to provide insights on current market trends and capabilities, thereby facilitating potential partnerships with HCL for future contracts.
