The brief

The Trust is looking to tender for the supply of specific bread products used in the catering departments.

East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust operates across a wide geographical area, with its four main Hospital sites being the Royal Blackburn Hospital, Burnley General Hospital, Accrington Victoria Hospital and Clitheroe hospital.

The Trust operates a full catering service for staff, patients and visitors at its Blackburn site, other hospital sites operate on a smaller scale but still provide food and beverages.

The Trust is looking to tender for the supply of bread to all four Hospital sites and requires a high level of responsiveness from its catering suppliers.

The ability to be agile and flexible is essential to facilitate the production of vast quantities of high quality, nutritional food.

The provision of bread is of particular importance as it is a feature of the hospitals menu on a daily basis, used in a variety of ways.

For example, Sandwiches, soup rolls, breakfast options etc.

With this in mind a consistently high quality product is required and the Trust is keen to work with its providers to maintain continuity of supply and high standards.
