Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Supply Chain is managing a procurement process entitled "Fresh and Food to Go Direct Solutions Framework". This initiative falls under the industry category of "Food, beverages, tobacco and related products" (CPV code 15000000). The procurement, which is currently in the tender stage, primarily involves the supply of various types of fresh food and food-to-go items including milk, bakery products, meats, and retail food solutions for both patient and café settings across NHS Trusts in the UK. The framework has an initial term of 24 months, starting from 26 July 2024, with the option to extend incrementally for an additional 24 months, potentially totalling a 48-month duration. The anticipated value of the framework for the first 24 months is approximately £70,000,000, with the possibility of reaching £140,000,000 if extended for the full term. Key upcoming milestones include bid submission by 10 May 2024 and award notification beginning on 13 May 2024.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses that can supply fresh and ready-to-eat food products, particularly those capable of meeting the NHS's specific demands for quality, collaboration, and sustainability. SMEs as well as larger suppliers can compete in this framework by showcasing their detailed product catalogues for NHS Trusts' consideration. Given the procurement method of a direct award only, businesses can benefit from stable contracts and timely payments under this framework. Suppliers specialising in dairy, bakery, meat alternatives, ready-made meals, and other food to go can especially benefit, aligning their growth strategies with the long-term supply needs of the NHS. Seeking suppliers across various categories further broadens the opportunity for diverse business engagement and growth.
