Summary of the contracting process

SUPPLY CHAIN COORDINATION LIMITED, a sub-central government public authority based in Wellington House, London, is in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "Beverages, Confectionery & Snacks." The initiative is structured as a future tender to establish a Framework Agreement for the supply of various food and drink products aimed at the NHS Supply Chain. This procurement, under the main category of goods, involves a diverse range of items including coffee, tea, carbonated and non-carbonated drinks, biscuits, and healthier snack options, classified under the industry category "Food, beverages, tobacco and related products." The procurement process is expected to be divided into lots, with a planned start date for the contract period from 29 February 2028 to 28 February 2032. A future notice is anticipated by 30 October 2026, providing further details on the lot structure and scope.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), which are noted for their eligibility and suitability for participation. The Framework Agreement structure implies potential for recurring business and a stable supply partnership with the NHS. Businesses specialising in food and beverage distribution, especially those offering healthier snack options, would benefit from engaging in this procurement process. The competitive edge would favour suppliers with capability in diverse product offerings and those that can operate within a framework contractual arrangement. Therefore, this tender is a promising avenue for companies looking to expand their reach within the public sector and the healthcare supply chain.
