Summary of the contracting process

The Procurement and Logistics Service, on behalf of multiple health and social care trusts across Northern Ireland, has completed the award stage for the tender titled "Ambient Products, Chilled Products and Fresh Prepared Vegetables - 4845399". This open procedure, under the CPV code 15310000 (Potatoes and potato products), targets the procurement of various food items. The contract, beginning on 22 January 2025, covers several lots including preserves, confectionery, cold beverages, tinned foods, yoghurts, fresh prepared vegetables, and gluten-free snacks. The estimated value ranges from £22,419,300 to £33,628,950 and includes potential extensions up to 24 months. The procurement was not a joint contract but was executed as a central purchasing body contract by BSO PaLS.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses in the food and beverage industry to diversify their client base and engage in stable, long-term contracts, especially those able to meet stringent requirements for ambient, chilled, and prepared vegetable products. Large suppliers like Henderson Foodservice Ltd and Sysco Foods NI Limited have already been successful, but there remains room for other capable suppliers to enter this competitive space. Companies specialising in processed foods, dairy products, preserved vegetables, and non-alcoholic beverages would find this tender particularly relevant, with the potential for business growth through consistent, high-volume orders across Northern Ireland's healthcare institutions.
