## Summary

The procurement process involved the Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust, which is seeking catering services for inpatient and retail operations at Birmingham Children's Hospital and associated facilities. This contract falls under the restaurant and food-serving services category and was awarded to Sodexo Healthcare.

The contract is set to commence on 4 May 2019 and will run until 3 May 2024, with the tender submission deadline having been 2 November 2018.
