Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council, through County Supplies, procured a closed framework for the supply and distribution of food to go. The requirement covers prepared sandwiches, rolls, baguettes, wraps and paninis; salads and pastas; and platters, pastry products and other food-to-go items. Deliveries serve council customers and Central Buying Consortium members, including local authority offices, adult health and social care establishments, schools, countryside services, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service establishments, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary establishments and other council customers. The work is classified as prepared sandwiches and food, beverages and related products (CPV 15811511 and 15000000), delivered across Hampshire and the surrounding South East area.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open procedure as a framework allowing direct awards from each lot and mini-competitions. The tender deadline was 10 March 2026 at 14:00, the enquiry deadline was 3 March 2026, and the award date was 17 March 2026. Simply Lunch and Sandwich Solutions Ltd trading as The Tuckbox were appointed to all three lots. Lot 1, sandwiches and similar products, was awarded to each supplier at £160,000 per supplier; Lot 2, salads and pastas, at £8,000 per supplier; and Lot 3, platters, pastry products and other food-to-go items, at £32,000 per supplier. Contracts were signed on 1 April 2026 and run to 31 March 2030. Price carried 100% of the evaluation. Contractors must pay a 2% annual rebate on net sales including VAT.

This procurement shows recurring demand from Hampshire County Council and associated public-service customers for a broad, reliable range of chilled and ready-to-eat food-to-go products. Suppliers well placed for a future competition would be able to manufacture or source sandwiches, salads, pasta, platters, pastry products and related lines, then distribute consistently to multiple customer types and sites across Hampshire. Credibility would depend on competitive pricing, dependable delivery performance and the operational capacity to meet strict delivery times, including during adverse weather or traffic disruption. A supplier should also be prepared to support direct awards and mini-competitions under a closed framework, provide clear sales reporting and administer the required annual rebate. The two appointed SMEs demonstrate that smaller food producers and distributors can compete alongside established operators.
