Summary of the contracting process

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), located in London, has successfully awarded a contract for catering services at their South Mimms site. The contract, procured through an open competitive flexible procedure, involves managing a staff canteen that offers daily breakfasts, lunch menus, and ad-hoc hospitality services. The contract was awarded to BaxterStorey Ltd, based in Reading, starting from 1st July 2026 and running until 30th June 2031, with an option for two potential one-year extensions. The total contract value stands at £850,000, with the legal framework governed by UKPGA 2023/54. Key performance metrics will be reviewed quarterly to ensure timely delivery of hospitality orders, maintaining a standard of at least 95% on-time delivery.

This contract provides substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in quality canteen and catering services, as classified under CPV 55500000. Large-scale caterers, like BaxterStorey Ltd, that can offer flexible, quality-driven food services and can handle ad-hoc hospitality requirements will find suitable opportunities to engage. Businesses that can match the technical and commercial criteria, particularly those with a strong emphasis on social value, stand a competitive chance in similar future procurements by public authority central government institutions like the MHRA. This tender highlights the growing demand for comprehensive catering solutions in public sector settings, opening doors for enhanced revenue streams and new client partnerships for successful suppliers.
