## Summary

The Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, on behalf of NHS Commercial Solutions, concluded a Framework Agreement for Food, Beverage & Retail Income Arrangements and Associated Services on 17th February 2025. This procurement, under the industry category of "Retail trade services," utilises an open procedure and is covered by the GPA. Enabling all NHS and Public Sector organisations within the UK to access the retail market, this framework aims to streamline tender processes and ensure compliant contract awards. The procurement process, which saw active participation from multiple suppliers like Carpenter Catering Limited, Compass Contract Services UK Ltd, and others, featured a standstill period allowing for any disputes to be addressed. The contract is valued at £500 million, enhancing service provision across various NHS Trusts and public sector entities.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the food, beverage, and retail service sectors. Companies specialising in retail trade services, including food and drink outlets and allied retail services, have a considerable scope to expand their market reach. The framework's structure supports SMEs and larger entities offering services and products such as sandwiches, beverages, confectionery, and other retail goods. Additionally, the inclusion of varied public sector organisations across the UK broadens the potential client base for suppliers participating in the framework, fostering business growth through the provision of essential retail services to health and social care establishments nationwide.
