## Summary

SUPPLY CHAIN COORDINATION LIMITED is undergoing a procurement process labeled "Multi Temperature Food," focusing on a diverse range of food products. The procurement process, currently in the planning stage, is being managed by a sub-central government authority based in London, United Kingdom. The initiative aims to establish a Framework Agreement for goods within the category of food, beverages, and related products, with a gross estimated value of £620 million. This engagement exercise, slated to run until 14th September 2026, is part of an early market engagement aimed at identifying potential suppliers ahead of formal procurement action. Key industry classifications include various food products such as frozen, ambient, and chilled food, with regional delivery throughout multiple UK regions.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for diverse business growth, especially for SMEs and VCSEs, as its structure supports these entities' participation. The planned framework agreement is set to commence on 13th March 2028, extending until 12th March 2036. Businesses engaged in the supply of a broad range of food products, including fresh produce, meats, dairies, and prepared foods, could benefit substantially. Participation in this RFI stage facilitates the opportunity to shape the upcoming procurement strategy and potentially secure a position within a robust public sector supply chain, contingent on active engagement and input during this planning phase.

## Notice

The Framework Agreement is expected to be divided into lots. Final lot structure and scope will be detailed in the future tender notice. The current intention is to use a Framework Agreement. However, NHS Supply Chain: Food reserves the right to adopt a different procurement approach if deemed more suitable.
