Supply Chain Coordination Limited · Local or regional public body

In brief

Supply Chain Coordination Limited has announced plans to buy food and drink work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £120,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 8 years, starting 4 October 2027.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 10 bids per contract for this buyer (from 101 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £120,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

NHS Supply Chain: Food is planning to establish a Framework Agreement for the supply of products including but not limited to: Cold Drinks, Snacks and Confectionery Vending Machines, Chilled & Hot Food Vending Machines, Hot Beverage Vending Machines, Coffee Shop Solutions, Ward Beverage Trolleys, Water Dispensers, Reverse Vending, Smart Technology & Shop Solutions, Maintenance and Servicing. 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.
