Summary of the contracting process

The East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust, alongside the Lancashire Teaching Hospitals, Blackpool Teaching Hospitals, and University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trusts, is planning a procurement process titled "S/WP - Milk and Bread." This initiative involves the acquisition of milk and bread products for use across these trusts. The procurement is currently at the planning stage and follows an open procedure. The projects are categorised under the goods industry, specifically 'Milk' (CPV: 15511000) and 'Prepared bread products' (CPV: 15811500). Key dates include an enquiry period closing on 1st May 2026 and a tender period ending on 15th May 2026, with the contract award scheduled for 2nd June 2026. The procurement spans several regions in the UK, namely UKD1 and UKD4, ensuring a broad scope of supply.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), as the lots are designed to accommodate such entities. With a gross value of £2,550,000, it offers substantial financial growth potential. Businesses specialising in dairy and bakery products are especially well-suited to compete for this contract, as the procurement's award criteria place considerable emphasis on quality, service, and social value, alongside competitive pricing. Registration and participation are managed through the Atamis e-sourcing portal, ensuring a transparent and open procurement process. The planned contract period starts on 1st July 2026, lasting until 30th June 2029, with an option for a one-year renewal, allowing long-term business relationships.
