Key Update - Suppliers questioned the contract start date of January if requiring fixed pricing and many brand owners only review beginning of each year and the bid being submitted in October, there was also discussions on duty increases on top of the annual reviews. It was also apparent that the mobilisation timeline although the right number of weeks, Christmas is not a great time to implement a contract. Avendra feedback is to realign the timeline so the contract start date is April 2026, this will mean that all pricing is then fixed annually from this date with the exception of any duty changes from the budget. It will also allow time for site surveys to be completed, and new equipment installed. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030490-2026 | | Notice type | UK6 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Competitive flexible procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Apr 2026 | | Submission deadline | 28 Oct 2025 | | Future notice date | 7 Oct 2025 | | Award date | 31 Mar 2026 | | Contract period | 14 Apr 2026 - 15 Apr 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £419,135 | | Lots value | £419,135 | | Awards value | £419,135 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active, Pending | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | GUY'S AND ST THOMAS' NHS FOUNDATION TRUST | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South East London | | Postcode | SE1 9RT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI44 Lewisham and Southwark | | Local authority | Southwark | | Electoral ward | London Bridge & West Bermondsey | | Westminster constituency | Bermondsey and Old Southwark | | Delivery location | TLI London, TLI44 Lewisham and Southwark, TLI45 Lambeth | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 2 | | Supplier names | BIDFOOD; LWC DRINKS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 15 - Food, beverages, tobacco and related products ### Codes - 15900000 - Beverages, tobacco and related products - 15930000 - Wines - 15941000 - Cider - 15961000 - Beer - 15982000 - Soft drinks ## Release History - 1 Apr 2026 at 14:39 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030490-2026 - 10 Oct 2025 at 12:14 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/064172-2025 - 15 Sep 2025 at 15:12 - PlanningUpdate - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/056686-2025 - 14 Aug 2025 at 10:41 - PlanningUpdate - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/048694-2025 - 29 Jul 2025 at 16:12 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/044017-2025 - 29 Jul 2025 at 15:54 - PlanningUpdate - UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/044013-2025 - 25 Jul 2025 at 12:47 - Planning - UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/043138-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030490-2026 1st April 2026 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/064172-2025 10th October 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/056686-2025 15th September 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/048694-2025 14th August 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/044017-2025 29th July 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/044013-2025 29th July 2025 - Planned procurement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/043138-2025 25th July 2025 - Planned procurement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://atamis-1928.my.site.com/ProSpend__CustomCommunitiesLogin?startURL=%2Fone%2Fone.app#/alohaRedirect/apex/Supplier_Portal_2019 - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents - https://www.lpp.nhs.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
