The tender, titled "S/WP - Milk and Bread," covered goods under an open procurement procedure. It was officially awarded on 14th July 2026, following a tender process that commenced on 10th April 2026. The central procurement category is food goods, specifically targeting hospital needs across multiple locations within the UK, including regions UKD41, UKD42, UKD45, and UKD12. The contracts were divided into two lots: milk and bread, with both contracts having the potential for a one-year renewal beyond the initial three-year term, which starts from the 1st of July 2026. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the food supply sector, particularly those specialising in dairy and bakery products. The open procedure allows competitive access, fostering participation from large-scale suppliers. With an extensive contract period and a value exceeding £2 million GBP gross for both lots combined, enterprises equipped to deliver high-quality goods and maintain long-term partnerships would benefit. Major suppliers like Clifton Dairies Limited and Morris Quality Bakers, previously awarded contracts, demonstrate the potential scale of business growth through such public procurements, encouraging other businesses with similar offerings to explore these opportunities. ## Notice Supply of Milk and Bread products ### Lot Information Milk Lot 1A to 1D Options: One year extension option Renewal: 1 Year Bread Lot 2A to 2D Options: One year extension option Renewal: 1 Year ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/066098-2026 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Jul 2026 | | Submission deadline | 15 May 2026 | | Future notice date | 16 Apr 2026 | | Award date | 11 Jun 2026 | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2026 - 30 Jun 2029 | | Recurrence | 2026-04-17 | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,125,000 | | Lots value | £2,125,000 | | Awards value | £1,411,794 | | Contracts value | £1,411,796 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active, Pending | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | EAST LANCASHIRE HOSPITALS NHS TRUST | | Additional buyers | BLACKPOOL TEACHING HOSPITALS NHS FOUNDATION TRUST; LANCASHIRE TEACHING HOSPITALS NHS FOUNDATION TRUST; UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS OF MORECAMBE BAY NHS FOUNDATION TRUST | | Locality | BLACKBURN | | Post town | Blackburn | | Postcode | BB2 3HH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD1 Cumbria | | ITL 3 | TLD14 Westmorland and Furness | | Local authority | Westmorland and Furness | | Electoral ward | Kendal South | | Westminster constituency | Westmorland and Lonsdale | | Delivery location | TLD1 Cumbria, TLD4 Lancashire | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 2 | | Supplier names | CLIFTON DAIRIES; MORRIS QUALITY BAKERS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 15 - Food, beverages, tobacco and related products ### Codes - 15511100 - Pasteurised milk - 15511210 - UHT milk - 15511300 - Skimmed milk - 15811100 - Bread ## Release History - 14 Jul 2026 at 10:57 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/066098-2026 - 12 Jun 2026 at 10:51 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/055621-2026 - 16 Apr 2026 at 12:28 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/034699-2026 - 10 Apr 2026 at 09:27 - Planning - UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032690-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/066098-2026 14th July 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/055621-2026 12th June 2026 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/034699-2026 16th April 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032690-2026 10th April 2026 - Planned procurement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome - https://www.bfwh.nhs.uk/ - https://www.elht.nhs.uk/ - https://www.lancsteachinghospitals.nhs.uk/ - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents - https://www.uhmb.nhs.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
