## Summary

The procurement process led by Alder Hey Children's NHS Foundation Trust is centred around the provision of enteral feed products. This contract falls under the category of goods and was initiated as a direct award due to the NHS England Nutrition on Prescription programme, which aims to standardise nutrient provision across care settings. The buying organisation is situated in Liverpool, United Kingdom, and has executed the procurement in the 'Award' stage, with the contract set to commence on 1st January 2026 and conclude on 31st December 2028. Key dates related to the final signature and award notice publication include 5th December 2025, and the standstill period ends on 16th December 2025.

The tender presents substantial opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in the manufacturing and distribution of nutritional products. Large-scale suppliers, such as Abbott Laboratories and Nutricia Limited, are well-suited for this contract, given their existing networks and capabilities in enteral and parenteral nutrition products. Companies with expertise in health care product solutions are likely to find promising prospects through this contract, which leverages established suppliers to ensure continuity and quality amidst evolving NHS guidelines. This could lead to strong partnerships and increased market presence for successful bidders within the medical nutrition industry.
