The tender is valued at £120,000 and is currently in the active stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 1 August 2022. The contract period is expected to begin on 1 September 2022 and last until 31 August 2024. Interested bidders can submit proposals for either Lot 1 Dairy, Lot 2 Bread (including eggs), or both. This initiative aligns with the Trust's commitment to support local businesses through the Social Value Model. This procurement process presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in food supply and logistics, particularly those with a focus on dairy and bakery products. Local suppliers, including small and medium enterprises (SMEs), are strongly encouraged to participate, making this a valuable chance for them to expand their market reach and contribute to the health services sector within the community. Companies with experience in supply chain management and food service delivery would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. ## Notice The County of Somerset covers a large geographical area. It has a dispersed, mainly rural population of more than 500,000 people, with only one in four of its residents living in one of its three largest towns: Taunton, Yeovil and Bridgwater. At present, there are two acute trusts, 13 community hospitals and over 70 GP practices within Somerset. Somerset NHS Foundation Trust was formed on the 1st of April 2020 by the merger of Somerset Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and Taunton and Somerset NHS Foundation Trust. Somerset NHS Foundation Trust invites you to tender for the provision of dairy, bread and associated products. This service will cover both the supply and transportation of these products to the Trust's selected sites, and the bidders are welcome to submit their bid for Lot 1 Dairy, Lot 2 Bread including eggs or both Lots 1 and 2. In particular, we are encouraging local businesses to submit bids as part of the Trust's commitment to the Social Value Model.
