Summary of the contracting process

The Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has announced a planned procurement process for the delivery of ready prepared meals, catering to patient requirements. This procurement is under the public authority of the central government, focusing on the goods category for prepared meals. The process is in the planning stage, with a planned start date for contracts being 30th October 2026, and a potential end date extending to 28th October 2031, if renewals are exercised. The contract is based in Bradford, United Kingdom, and involves a significant budget of approximately £2,953,197.00. Interested parties can expect further notices by the 30th of April 2026.

This procurement presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in food services, specifically those offering prepared meal solutions. Companies with experience in delivering high-quality, ready-to-serve meals, particularly in the healthcare sector, may find this contract advantageous for expanding their portfolio. The sizeable contract value and the potential for contract renewal make it an attractive proposition for larger meal suppliers aiming to secure long-term growth and stability through government contracts. Additionally, entities equipped to handle logistics and delivery of meals in compliance with NHS standards will likely be well-suited to compete.
