The brief

This procurement has resulted in the award of a contract for frozen meals delivery to all Category 2.5 Sheltered Housing Schemes.

The frozen meals allow the schemes to offer residents a wide range of meals to suit a variety of dietary requirements, including but not limited to vegetarian, reduced sugar and gluten free, ethical meals that include Halal, Kosher, Indian and Chinese.

The meals are ordered by each scheme directly and they can then be reheated as and when they need to be served.

In total there are seven schemes that use the meal provision which serves over 350 service users.

The average price per meal, including pudding, currently is approximately £3 per head.

The council has used the new ESPO framework (Ready Meals 58_23) for the award of a new contract.

The service is awarding a contract for 3 years with the option to extended for a further 2 years.
