UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

St Mary’s University, Twickenham buys sandwiches, salads, platters and related products for its catering and retail operations. The requirement includes delivery to the university in Twickenham and covers fresh food and associated products, including soft drinks and catering services (CPV 15810000). Packaging must clearly identify the product, allergens and ingredients, and provide recycling information; recyclable packaging supports the university’s sustainability goals. The University Caterers Organisation (TUCO) provided procurement support and framework-compliance advice, while St Mary’s University remained the contracting authority and made the final award decision.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Anchor Catering Limited. The award was made on 16 September 2026 and the contract was signed that day. Its value is £97,500 excluding VAT (£117,000 including VAT). The contract runs from 28 September 2026 to 16 September 2027, with an option to extend for one further year, to 16 September 2028. The university made the award through a competitive call-off from TUCO’s Sandwiches and Associated Products Framework, using its sandwich and associated products lot. The award record identifies the procurement as a below-threshold framework award. The call-off allows optional volume increases and additional purchases during the contract.

This award shows demand from St Mary’s University for a regular supply and delivery of sandwiches, salads, platters and related products for both catering and retail, with scope for additional volumes and purchases. Suppliers competing for a similar requirement would need to serve both foodservice and retail operations and reliably deliver fresh products to a university site. Products must be accompanied by packaging that clearly presents product details, allergens and ingredients; recyclable packaging also aligns with the buyer’s stated sustainability goals. The successful supplier, Anchor Catering Limited, is an SME, indicating that a supplier of this scale has served the requirement. The purchasing route was a competitive call-off from TUCO’s relevant framework, so familiarity with framework call-off requirements would be important for a future supplier.
