In plain English

Procurement Assist is looking for catering and canteen service providers to join a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) that will run until May 2029. This is a framework agreement that allows NHS Trusts, local authorities, housing providers, charities, and other public sector organisations across the UK to order catering services from pre-approved suppliers.

What the buyer wants

• Provide canteen and catering services (food preparation, meal provision, and catering management) to public sector organisations • Comply with food safety, hygiene, and health regulations • Be available to deliver services to multiple organisations across the UK who access this framework

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

The estimated contract value of £100 million indicates this is a very large national framework with multiple concurrent users; most small independent catering businesses will struggle with the administrative burden, insurance requirements, and need to serve multiple large organisations simultaneously, plus you will face competition from major national catering providers.

How to bid

This is a Dynamic Purchasing System: an open list of approved suppliers. You can apply to join at any time while it runs, and once accepted you can bid for the individual contracts the buyer runs through it.
