Ambient ready meals for on board catering
Notice Description
XC Trains Limited (XC) will be conducting a private tender for the purchase of ambient ready meals for the on-board catering offering.

Suppliers are required to abide to all relevant UK food standards. Deliveries need to be made to the following stations: Birmingham New Street, Bristol and Reading.

This meal may be heated in the on-board microwave. It should require minimal preparation (no decanting of products) and able to be stored at ambient temperature in a self-contained packaging that can be used to serve customers. - a vegan option will be required for both types of meals The packaging is required to be at least 85% recyclable. Please register your interest and inform George Petre by 5PM on 23/04/2023 george.petre@crosscountrytrains.co.uk
