## Summary

The Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, located in Kettering, UK, recently completed a public procurement process for the title "Takeaway Meals for Staff" within the meal-cooking services industry. The procurement aimed to secure the provision of 500 takeaway meals daily, including both meat-based and vegetarian options, to support staff during lengthy shifts. This contract is valued at £65,000 and was awarded following an open procedure, with the contract period running from 1st February 2021 to 31st March 2021. The tender period concluded on 26th January 2021.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) within the catering and food services sector, particularly those specialising in meal preparation and delivery. Businesses capable of providing diverse, nutritious meals that cater to specific dietary requirements, such as Halal, dairy-free, and gluten-free options, would be well-positioned to compete. The focus on individually packaged meals that retain a "home-cooked" feel highlights the demand for quality and convenience, enabling innovative catering companies to expand their clientele and service offerings.

## Notice

The Trust requires five hundred (500) takeaway meals per day, seven (7) days a week, including Bank Holidays, for staff to re-heat at home or during their night shift. Seventy percent (70%) of meals should be meat-based and meat must be Halal. Thirty percent (30%) of meals must be vegetarian. There must be dairy-free and gluten-free options included in both options. Each container of food must provide a "home cooked" feel and the contents support satiation and satiety considering most staff will be working 12 hour shifts. Each meal must be individually packaged - one meal for one person. The packaging for each meal must be substantial enough that it can be transported e.g. home or to a ward area and suitable for re-heating in a microwave (no decanting required). Each meal must be properly labelled with a list of ingredients and instructions such as use-by dates, allergen information, storage guidelines and re-heating instructions. Meals must be delivered at 17:00 each day in a refrigerated vehicle and all relevant documentation supplied and signed for. Further details on the requirement and information on how to submit a bid can be found on the Delta e-procurement portal (https://www.delta-esourcing.com) with the reference 559389684 at Kettering General Hospital. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
