## Summary

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured the supply of fruit and vegetables, including related fresh produce, for its acute hospital sites. The goods are delivered across the East Midlands, including the site associated with postcode LN5 7JH. This is a hospital food-supply requirement rather than catering, food preparation or facilities-management work: the commercial opportunity is centred on providing the required fruit and vegetables to NHS acute-care locations. Businesses relevant to this requirement are produce wholesalers, distributors and other suppliers able to serve hospital sites in the East Midlands. The named buying organisation is United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, based in Lincoln.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to GW PRICE LTD on 11 September 2026. The award is active and has a value of £800,000. The contract runs from 31 October 2026 to 30 October 2027. It was conducted as a selective call-off from a framework agreement, for goods. The procurement was estimated at between £217,507 and £652,521. The tender submission deadline was 1 July 2026 at 12:00. This outcome records one selected supplier for the fruit and vegetable requirement. The award value is higher than the published estimated range, so suppliers assessing future opportunities should distinguish the awarded amount from the earlier estimate.

This award demonstrates recurring institutional demand for a dependable fruit and vegetable supply serving acute hospital sites in the East Midlands. A credible future competitor would need an established produce-supply operation, reliable sourcing and distribution, and the capacity to deliver consistently across hospital locations. Experience supplying public-sector or healthcare customers would help demonstrate understanding of regular deliveries, service continuity and the standards expected in an NHS environment. Suppliers should also be able to operate through a framework-agreement route, since this requirement was placed as a framework call-off rather than as a standalone open tender. The relevant competitive profile is therefore a capable regional wholesaler or distributor with dependable logistics and sufficient operational resilience.
