It is situated in Lincoln (UKF30 region) and covers delivery within the UKF3 region. Key dates include the expected start of the contract from 1st November 2026 to 31st October 2029, with a future notice planned for 1st April 2026. The procurement is above threshold, with an estimated value of £5,000,000 to £6,000,000, accommodating potential changes depending on the outcomes of related national projects.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, or nursing services, particularly those with experience in dietetics and enteral nutrition supply chains. Companies providing equipment loans or nursing services will find substantial growth possibilities due to the scale and scope of the contract. The procurement process, initiated through a public tender, aligns well with larger organisations capable of managing delivery logistics and compliance with UK public sector requirements, although adjustments may arise from the NHSE National Nutrition on Prescription project. The tender presents an opportunity for businesses to align with a central public authority, highlighting the potential for long-term partnerships and strategic positioning within the healthcare sector.
