This procurement follows an Open Procedure under the Procurement Act 2023. The framework has an estimated total value of £96 million (including VAT) across three lots, with annual spend estimated at £20 million. Suppliers should be capable of providing a comprehensive range of products including sandwiches, rolls, wraps, toasties, paninis, baguettes, sausage rolls, pies, bakery items (muffins, cakes), salads, sushi, fruit and yogurt pots, breakfast products (cereal pots, overnight oats), meal deal offerings (snacks and soft drinks), and catering solutions such as hospitality platters, cater packs, and grab-and-go bags/boxes.
