National Framework Agreement for Total Food Management Solutions

COUNTESS OF CHESTER HOSPITAL NHS FOUNDATION TRUST · Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender

Tender information last checkedLast checked 27 Sept 2026, 17:56.

Opportunity overview

The objective of this framework is to offer an end-to-end approach to food and beverage procurement, distribution, preparation, waste management, and reporting for public sector organisations, using a single supplier. Most public sector organisations currently contract multiple suppliers for different parts of their food and beverage services, ingredients, catering staff, logistics, and waste management. This often leads to operational complexity, duplication of effort, and lack of integration across procurement, nutrition, sustainability, and waste reduction.
