UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Isle of Wight NHS Trust plans to buy a patient meal regeneration, temperature-maintenance and distribution system for its hospital in Newport, Isle of Wight. The goods package covers heated and chilled meal trolleys, docking stations and trays, together with monitoring software. The supplier is also expected to install and commission the system, train staff, dispose of existing equipment and provide maintenance support. This is a catering-equipment supply and installation project, with related software, training and ongoing support. The system is intended to support the preparation, temperature control and distribution of patient meals. The procurement is planned as a single package covering the complete system and associated services.

This is at the planning stage: the Trust has stated its intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. It expects to use an open procedure. The anticipated value is £300,000 excluding VAT (£360,000 including VAT). The buyer’s indicative timetable points to a further notice on 18 November 2026, an award by 30 December 2026 and a contract running from 4 January 2027 to 3 January 2037. The planned contract period is ten years. The procurement is presented as one package, rather than being divided into lots. The Trust has marked the package as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This procurement is suited to suppliers able to provide an integrated hospital catering-equipment solution, rather than equipment alone. Relevant capabilities include supplying heated and chilled meal trolleys, docking stations and trays; installing and commissioning the system; providing temperature-monitoring software; training hospital staff; and arranging equipment disposal. The buyer is also seeking long-term maintenance support, so suppliers should be prepared to support the system throughout a decade-long contract. The package is identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it potentially accessible to smaller providers with the required delivery, installation, software and support capabilities. Suppliers can use the planning period to assess whether they can deliver the full scope directly or through partners.
