## Summary

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Merseyside and Chief Constable for Merseyside procured the supply and distribution of sandwiches and associated products. This is a food supply and delivery requirement, rather than a catering or food-preparation service. The recorded delivery area spans multiple parts of England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The procurement was made through the TUCO framework. The requirement is grouped as a single lot and covers sandwiches and related products; no more detailed product range or delivery locations are identified in the published scope.

The procurement is complete and the award was made to Simply Lunch Ltd. The award date was 23 October 2026, with a gross awarded value of £384,000 (£320,000 excluding VAT). The contract period runs from 2 December 2026 to 1 December 2028, with an option for one two-year renewal, giving a stated maximum end date of 1 December 2030. The buyer used a selective procedure to award under the TUCO framework. The process was conducted as one lot. The award entry is marked pending, and a contract signature milestone was scheduled for 16 November 2026. No evaluation criteria are reported.

This award demonstrates demand from Merseyside’s police bodies for a supplier able to provide and distribute sandwiches and associated products across a broad area of England. A credible competitor when this requirement returns would need dependable food supply, product consistency and the distribution capacity to serve multiple regions. The award went to Simply Lunch Ltd, recorded as an SME, showing that the requirement was fulfilled by a smaller supplier rather than necessarily requiring a large national operator. The route used was an award under the TUCO framework, so suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer should be capable of participating through that framework. The requirement is for goods and delivery, not an identified food-preparation service; relevant experience should therefore centre on supplying and distributing sandwiches and related products at multi-region scale.
