Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust in collaboration with Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust, focused on the supply of milk and bread products. The tender, titled "S/WP - Milk and Bread," covered goods under an open procurement procedure. It was officially awarded on 14th July 2026, following a tender process that commenced on 10th April 2026. The central procurement category is food goods, specifically targeting hospital needs across multiple locations within the UK, including regions UKD41, UKD42, UKD45, and UKD12. The contracts were divided into two lots: milk and bread, with both contracts having the potential for a one-year renewal beyond the initial three-year term, which starts from the 1st of July 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the food supply sector, particularly those specialising in dairy and bakery products. The open procedure allows competitive access, fostering participation from large-scale suppliers. With an extensive contract period and a value exceeding £2 million GBP gross for both lots combined, enterprises equipped to deliver high-quality goods and maintain long-term partnerships would benefit. Major suppliers like Clifton Dairies Limited and Morris Quality Bakers, previously awarded contracts, demonstrate the potential scale of business growth through such public procurements, encouraging other businesses with similar offerings to explore these opportunities.
