Other Information

This Framework Agreement will be utilised by NHS Supply Chain: Food and it’s customers for Direct Award contracts ONLY. This means that no re-opening of competition will be conducted under this Framework Agreement and customers will have access to a quicker and easier call off route to market without having to run a further competition exercise. This will enhance contingency plans for our customers in the event of a severe supplier failure allowing for a quick replacement supplier. Awarded Suppliers will have been through a Public Contract Regulations 2015 compliant process and are being requested to provide full catalogue pricing along with a discount mechanism for customers to choose the most appropriate solution. This Framework Agreement is being put in place to supplement our existing Dynamic Purchasing Systems for both Fresh Food and Food to Go under which re-opening of competition is conducted to provide more bespoke solutions for our customers. NHS Supply Chain: Food therefore, encourages any Applicants who are interested in this opportunity to also submit for the Dynamic Purchasing Systems for Fresh Food (https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/020877-2022) and Food to Go (https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/027917-2023).
