## Summary

The Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract for catering provisions, such as ready-prepared chicken and other products, trust-wide. The procurement, under the industry category "Food, beverages, tobacco and related products," falls under the "goods" main procurement category and has been completed with Theos Food Services as the supplier. The procurement method used was "direct," and it was conducted as a "below threshold - without competition" process. The procurement process was finalised on 8th May 2026, with the contract starting on the same date and extending to 31st March 2027, with a potential to extend to the end of 2027 if needed. The operation is centrally located in Liverpool, which is within the UKD72 region, while Theos Food Services is based in Walsall within the UKG38 region.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses in the food service industry to expand their market share in the healthcare sector. With a contract value of £69,000 gross (£57,500 net), companies that provide food, beverages, and related products stand to benefit from a relationship with a significant public sector customer. Larger scale businesses, similar to Theos Food Services, which have the capacity to fulfill large-volume orders and cater to dietary needs within healthcare environments, would find this opportunity particularly advantageous. The contract's flexibility in duration, with potential renewals, offers further strategic growth opportunities for suitable suppliers in the market.
