Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for Multi Temperature Food Solutions, led by NHS Supply Chain, has been awarded for the supply of ambient, chilled, and frozen food products to NHS Trusts across the UK. The contracting authority, Supply Chain Coordination Limited, has completed the award stage as of 25th June 2025, following the tender process initiated earlier in the year. As part of an open procurement method, this non-exclusive Framework Agreement holds a potential value of £354,300,000 over a maximum period of 48 months, with an initial term of 24 months and an option to extend incrementally. The contract, classified under the industry category of 'Food, beverages, tobacco and related products,' was facilitated to ensure comprehensive food solutions necessary for the catering needs within NHS entities.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses in the food supply sector, notably those dealing with ambient, chilled, and frozen products. With a robust framework agreement covering extensive deliveries across various UK locations, businesses specialising in these categories can secure substantial growth and sustainability. Large enterprises as well as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are well-positioned to compete and thrive within the framework, given its substantial scale and the broad participation of numerous suppliers. The procurement's emphasis on social value, including fighting climate change and promoting equal opportunity, indicates an openness to innovative solutions that align with these objectives. Businesses that can offer cost-effective, high-quality products with added social value benefits are particularly well-suited to engage in future related procurement exercises.
