## Summary

The procurement process initiated by the United Lincolnshire Hospital NHS Trust focuses on the outsourcing of retail services at its acute sites. With a main procurement category of services and classified under hotel, restaurant, and retail trade services, this process is located within the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The contract entails a substantial value of £19,000,000 and spans from 30th June 2025 to 29th June 2040, with the potential for extension by five additional years. The procurement method used is selective, through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, and the process has passed the award stage, with WHSmith named as the supplier on 27th June 2025.

This tender represents a significant potential for business growth, especially for businesses in the service sector focusing on retail trade within healthcare environments. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find viable opportunities in future tenders of similar scope, despite WHSmith's large-scale supplier involvement. The existing contract underscores the importance of positioning within public sector outsourcing, encouraging enterprises with expertise in retail solutions to engage in related procurement opportunities.
