## Summary

South Cambridgeshire District Council has completed its procurement process for a Mobile Foodhub, aimed at providing services across several villages identified through indices of deprivation data. The procurement is categorised under restaurant and food-serving services and covers delivery regions within the UKH12 area. The procurement was conducted using an open competition method, despite being below the usual threshold. Key dates included the contract award on 12 February 2026, with the service expected to commence on 23 February 2026 and run until 22 February 2028, with potential for extension pending additional funding.

This procurement presents an opportunity for businesses within the restaurant and food service sectors, particularly SMEs, to engage with local councils and broaden their operational reach. The awarded contractor, Hope Against Poverty CIC, indicating preference towards socially responsible organisations, could inspire similar entities to pursue such tenders. Businesses with expertise in mobile food distribution and community-focused services are especially geared towards these opportunities. With the project's potential to expand into additional villages, suppliers have the chance to play a pivotal role in community development while scaling their operations.

## Notice

SCDC is looking for a suitable contractor to run a mobile food hub, servicing initially 8 different villages, and rising depending on its success. In 2023, 6 villages were initially identified to start the mobile food hub using the indices of deprivation data from the 2021 census, targeting wards with the highest level of households deprived in two or more dimensions without close access to a foodbank. These villages/wards were Papworth, Over & Willingham, Histon & Impington, Fen Ditton & Fulbourn, Linton, and Duxford. Northstowe was added in 2025. These locations are subject to change dependent on changes in demand.
