Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, also known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), is conducting a tender for the "Direct Meal Service". This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically related to providing frozen ready prepared meals across NHS Scotland. The procurement is currently in the Award stage, with the successful contracts having been signed on 4th May 2020 and a contract value of £980,000. The existing framework has been extended for an additional six months due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, adjusting the expiry to March 2021. The service will be provided to NHS Scotland health boards, and interested parties can contact NSS based in Edinburgh for more information.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the food supply and catering sectors, particularly those specialising in ready meals. Companies with capabilities to meet the demands of health boards across Scotland, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and larger food suppliers, are well-positioned to compete. With a focus on frozen meal provision, suppliers who can demonstrate compliance with health and safety standards and deliver quality service are particularly encouraged to engage with this procurement process.
