Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is managed by NHS National Services Scotland, aimed at securing a framework agreement for the "Direct Meal Service." This contract, classified under the prepared meals category, is essential for providing a variety of meal types including frozen, chilled, and ambient options, delivered to all NHS Scotland Health Boards and Special Boards. The procurement method employed is open, with an emphasis on both service quality and cost, highlighting an 80% focus on price and a 20% focus on quality in the award criteria. The tender, initiated in June 2025, is currently in the award stage with contracts already signed by mid-September 2025. The framework, with a significant estimated annual value between £3.8 million and £4 million, spans four years, presenting a stable and extensive opportunity for suppliers, headquartered mainly in Edinburgh, UK.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those in the food service industry, to supply NHS Scotland with a wide range of prepared meals, encompassing breakfast, desserts, meats, poultry, fish, vegetarian, and allergen-sensitive options. The framework encourages participation from multiple suppliers per lot, benefitting both large enterprises like apetito Limited and SMEs such as Dalehills Ltd, fostering competitive pricing and innovation. Given the long-term nature (four years) and substantial monetary value of the contract, securing a place on this framework can lead to sustainable business growth and increased market presence for suppliers equipped to meet the quality and safety standards mandated by the NHS, including BRC Global Standards or equivalent certifications.

The notification will incorporate a 'standstill period' of a minimum of 10 clear calendar days (or a minimum of 15 if the communication method used is not electronic) between the date on which the authority despatches the notice(s) and the date on which the authority proposes to conclude the relevant framework agreement. The bringing of court proceedings against the authority during the standstill period will automatically continue the prohibition on entering into the framework agreement until the court proceedings are determined, discontinued or disposed of, or the court, by interim order, brings to an end the prohibition. The remedies that may be awarded by the courts before the framework agreement has been entered into include the setting aside of the decision to award the framework agreement to the winning tenderer(s). The bringing of court proceedings against the authority after the framework agreement has been entered into will not affect the framework agreement unless grounds for the imposition of special penalties under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 can be established. Otherwise the remedies that may be awarded by the courts where the framework agreement has been entered into are limited to the award of damages. Economic operators are entitled to write to the authority after receipt of the notification should they require further clarification. The authority will respond within 15 days of such a written request, but it should be noted that receipt by the authority of such request during the standstill period may not prevent the authority from awarding the framework agreement following the expiry of the standstill period. Economic operators should approach the contracting authority in the first instance. However, the only formal remedy is to apply to the courts: An economic operator that suffers or is at risk of suffering, loss or damage attributable to a breach of duty under the Public Contracts(Scotland) Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session"
