This public procurement process overseen by East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust involves the supply of fresh fruit, vegetables, and salad, classified under 'Fresh or frozen vegetables'. The procurement has reached the 'Award' stage, with J R Wholesale being the selected supplier. The procurement method was selective, utilising a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract is valued at £258,232, and it covers the period from 1st May 2025 to 30th April 2026. The procurement was conducted at the Trust's location in Saint Leonards-on-sea, with postal code TN37 7RD in the United Kingdom.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for suppliers in the fresh produce sector, especially those capable of fulfilling large-scale supply contracts. While this particular contract has been awarded, businesses similar to J R Wholesale, especially those experienced in framework agreements and able to provide competitive pricing and reliable delivery, could find future procurement opportunities with public health trusts highly beneficial for business growth. As the process was not deemed suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, larger suppliers and those with the capacity to engage with similar organisations may be best positioned to compete successfully in such tenders.
