## Summary

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust commissioned a general feasibility study for its catering operation. The requirement sits within catering and canteen services, covering work to assess the feasibility of catering provision rather than the routine supply of meals alone. The buyer is the NHS trust serving its hospitals, with the contracting organisation based at Lincoln County Hospital in Lincoln. The work therefore relates to the trust’s catering environment and operational needs across its hospital service. This is a services requirement for consultants or specialist catering advisers able to examine catering arrangements, develop an evidence-based feasibility assessment and provide findings that can support the trust’s future decisions about catering provision, facilities, service models and operational delivery.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. The single catering feasibility-study lot reached complete status. M Y A Consulting Limited was selected, and the award is active. The award date was 5 January 2026. The contract was signed on 5 January 2026 and runs from 5 January 2026 to 31 March 2026. Its value is £44,830 excluding VAT, or £53,796 including VAT. The published process does not set out a competitive evaluation basis; the route was a direct award without competition. The contract is below the applicable threshold and is being delivered as a single service requirement rather than a multi-lot competition.

This award indicates demand from United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust for specialist advice on catering feasibility. Competitors seeking similar work should be able to assess hospital or other complex institutional catering arrangements, identify operational and commercial options, and turn their findings into a clear feasibility report for senior decision-makers. Relevant capability includes understanding catering services, canteen operations, facilities, service models, costs, risks and implementation implications, with the ability to work within a healthcare environment. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that this type of focused advisory assignment can suit a smaller consultancy as well as a large professional-services firm. Credibility will depend on practical catering knowledge, sound analysis and concise recommendations tailored to the trust’s operational context.
