The procurement is classified under prepared meals, with an estimated contract value of £100,000. The tender period concludes on 19 January 2021, and the contract will commence on 1 February 2021, lasting until 31 March 2021. The procurement method is a competitive quotation below threshold, aimed at attracting small and medium enterprises as well as voluntary and community sector entities, with the delivery location specified as Kettering in the East Midlands region of the UK. This tender represents an opportunity for businesses involved in meal preparation and catering services, particularly those who can provide diverse meal options suited for busy healthcare staff. Companies that can offer halal meat-based meals, vegetarian options, and special dietary choices, such as dairy-free and gluten-free meals, would be well-positioned to compete. With an expected high volume of daily deliveries and a focus on quality packaging and labelling, those with experience in large-scale meal provision will find this contract a potential avenue for business growth. ## 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. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9c58ddf0-960d-4993-8db7-9b2a6d55e026 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Competitive quotation (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Jan 2021 | | Submission deadline | 20 Jan 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Feb 2021 - 31 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | KETTERING GENERAL HOSPITAL NHS FOUNDATION TRUST | | Locality | KETTERING | | Post town | Northampton | | Postcode | NN16 8UZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF25 North Northamptonshire | | Local authority | North Northamptonshire | | Electoral ward | Northall | | Westminster constituency | Kettering | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 15 - Food, beverages, tobacco and related products - 55 - Hotel, restaurant and retail trade services ### Codes - 15894200 - Prepared meals - 55321000 - Meal-preparation services - 55322000 - Meal-cooking services ## Release History - 14 Jan 2021 at 11:33 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9c58ddf0-960d-4993-8db7-9b2a6d55e026 - 14 Jan 2021 at 11:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9c58ddf0-960d-4993-8db7-9b2a6d55e026 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9c58ddf0-960d-4993-8db7-9b2a6d55e026 14th January 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-Kettering:-Takeaway-Meals-for-Staff/473676KVK4 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Notice URLs - https://www.delta-esourcing.com ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
