UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process is initiated by Supply Chain Coordination Limited, a sub-central government public authority based in London, UK. This procurement seeks to establish a Framework Agreement for "Multi Temperature Food" products, which include frozen, ambient, and chilled food items. It falls under the goods category and aligns with the CPV code for food, beverages, tobacco, and related products. This tender is at the planning stage as of 11th May 2026, with the anticipated contract period running from 13th March 2028 to 12th March 2032, indicating a future notice date of 27th April 2027. The procurement approach currently favoured is a Framework Agreement, although this may change. Being planned, the procurement offers potential opportunities for different businesses including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), with division into lots yet to be detailed.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses specialising in the supply and distribution of multi-temperature food products. Given the nature of the Framework Agreement and the planned lot structure, entities with expertise in any of the product categories—frozen, ambient, or chilled—will find opportunities to compete. Companies inclusive of SMEs and VCSEs can leverage this procurement to expand their reach and establish long-term supply relationships within the NHS Supply Chain network. The potential for lot division means that businesses offering niche products or services, as well as those capable of supplying larger volumes, have the chance to secure specific segments of this procurement.
