## Summary

Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured an electronic catering management information system for its hospitals in Preston. The requirement is for catering software and related information technology services that are compatible with the Trust’s existing systems. It is intended to support electronic catering management rather than the supply of food, kitchen equipment or general catering staff. The named public-sector buyer is the Trust, a healthcare organisation. The work is therefore relevant to software providers and implementation specialists with products for institutional catering, particularly systems that can integrate with established NHS or other healthcare technology environments. The procurement’s stated classification is information technology services, with software packages and information systems forming the specific subject of the requirement.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust made a direct award through the YPO 001205 Framework, using a procedure without prior publication of a competition notice. The stated rationale was extreme urgency caused by unforeseeable events, subject to the applicable legal conditions. SYNBIOTIX LTD was selected as the supplier; one bid was recorded. The award was evaluated on price. The contract was signed on 9 September 2026 and has a value of £171,675.50. The tender record shows the electronic catering management lot as cancelled, while the related award is active. The requirement is for delivery in Preston.

This procurement demonstrates demand from an NHS foundation trust for a substantial electronic catering management system that works with existing Trust systems. A credible future competitor would need a proven software product for institutional catering, together with the technical capability to integrate it into an established healthcare environment without disrupting operational services. Relevant strengths would include experience implementing catering information systems, reliable data exchange and system support, and the capacity to deliver for a large public-sector healthcare organisation. Because the route used was a direct award from the YPO 001205 Framework, suppliers seeking similar work with this buyer would also need to understand framework participation and call-off requirements. The selection on price indicates that commercially competitive pricing will be important alongside technical compatibility and delivery capability.
