## Summary

The South Cambridgeshire District Council is seeking a contractor for their Mobile Foodhub project, aimed at delivering food services to various villages in the East of England. The initiative targets locations identified based on deprivation levels, including Papworth and Over & Willingham, among others, with Northstowe added in 2025. Currently in the tender stage, businesses can submit their proposals by 22 January 2026, with the contract running from February 2026 to February 2028. This open procedure targets the restaurant and food-serving services industry, offering services below the procurement threshold.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the food service sector, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to expand their operations by participating in a community-focused programme. The mobile food hub's scalability means businesses with flexibility and logistical expertise are well-suited to compete and potentially expand their reach across the region as the project grows. By joining this initiative, businesses stand to enhance their service offerings in partnership with a local council focused on community welfare and support.

## Notice

SCDC is looking for a suitable contractor to run a mobile food hub, servicing initially 8 different villages, and rising depending on its success. In 2023, 6 villages were initially identified to start the mobile food hub using the indices of deprivation data from the 2021 census, targeting wards with the highest level of households deprived in two or more dimensions without close access to a foodbank. These villages/wards were Papworth, Over & Willingham, Histon & Impington, Fen Ditton & Fulbourn, Linton, and Duxford. Northstowe was added in 2025. These locations are subject to change dependent on changes in demand.
