Summary of the contracting process

Public Services Delivery Scotland, the Common Services Agency, is renewing a national framework for catering supplies used across NHS Scotland health boards, special boards, other NHS Scotland organisations, Integrated Joint Boards and Scottish hospices. The requirement covers disposable and reusable products for catering and retail sites, including single-use food packaging, beverage products, cutlery and tabletop products, consumables, reusable cups, dining and table products, and reusable cutlery, utensils and gloves. The work is delivered across mainland and island NHS Scotland. It is a goods procurement for catering supplies, including disposable catering supplies. The framework is intended for multiple suppliers and is available to the eligible NHS and hospice organisations described above.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. It is a multi-supplier framework divided into six lots, with suppliers able to bid for up to six lots and up to 60 framework places overall. The estimated total value is £9,300,000. Lot values are £4,416,000 for single-use food packaging, £2,444,000 for single-use beverage products, £1,425,000 for single-use cutlery and tabletop products, £635,000 for single-use consumables, £279,000 for reusable cups, dining and table products, and £118,000 for reusable cutlery, utensils and gloves. Each lot has a four-year contract period. Tenders are due by 30 September 2026 at 10:30; bids must remain valid until 23:59:59 that day. Evaluation is 80% price and 20% service quality.

This opportunity suits manufacturers, wholesalers and specialist distributors of disposable catering products, reusable catering and dining products, or related consumables with the range and capacity to supply NHS Scotland sites across mainland and island locations. Suppliers should be able to provide compliant product information through a required electronic catalogue and operate with electronic ordering, payment and invoicing arrangements. The tender requires economic and financial information covering the previous three financial years and asks bidders to provide the names and qualifications of staff assigned to the contract. Successful suppliers must support community-benefit objectives, describe existing and proposed community benefits, and follow the required post-award contract and supplier-management process. Subcontracting is permitted under a contract clause, and the procurement includes an electronic auction.
