Food supply built
around the programme.
Review individual food components or complete pack assembly against a defined procurement, preparation and delivery brief.
Components or assembled packs.
Build the offer around the written programme specification, the recipients’ preparation conditions and the delivery requirement.
| Supply route | What to specify | What is reviewed |
|---|---|---|
| Individual components | Product, portion or fill weight, quantity, preparation method and destination. | The selected component, specification, label, pack and proposed supply source. |
| Complete pack assembly | Every component, units per pack, nutritional targets, outer case and identification requirements. | The complete assortment, sourcing/assembly responsibilities, packaging and programme requirements. |
Pack composition, nutritional targets and product suitability are agreed for the programme. A selection of components is not automatically a nutritionally complete ration.
Review relevant food families.

Preparation and storage belong in the brief.

- Recipients & dietary needs
Share the intended recipients, portion plan, nutritional targets, ingredient exclusions, allergens and dietary requirements.
- Distribution & storage
Describe the delivery route, expected handling and storage conditions, pack durability and intended distribution method.
- Shelf life on arrival
State the minimum remaining shelf life required at the delivery point, alongside arrival and distribution milestones.
Give the proposal a clear acceptance basis.
| Tender requirement | Information to provide |
|---|---|
| Scope & quantities | Component-level specification or full pack composition, units per pack, order quantities and any phased deliveries. |
| Delivery & milestones | Destination, required arrival window, bid closing date, inspection points and shipment basis where specified. |
| Labels & identification | Language, beneficiary/programme text, batch/date marking, carton marks and barcode requirements. |
| Testing & documents | Applicable product and site requirements, required analysis, inspection and acceptance criteria. |
| Commercial process | Quotation currency, validity requirement, payment/procurement conditions and the tender contact. |
Clarify the scope early.
Can you quote components as well as complete packs?
Both scopes can be discussed. For components, specify each product and quantity. For assembled packs, define every component, unit count, outer pack and the assembly responsibilities.
Can you meet a programme’s nutritional targets?
Include the targets and the complete intended assortment in the specification. Product suitability and the overall pack composition must be reviewed for that programme; a catalogue example is not a programme approval.
How should a formal tender be introduced?
Share a non-confidential summary, quantities, destination, key dates and the procurement contact. The team can agree a suitable channel for the full tender documents and confidential requirements.
Can documents be reviewed before supplier approval?
Request the specifications, ingredients/allergen information, validated shelf life, relevant batch analysis and current documents for the proposed production source and scope.
When can delivery dates be confirmed?
The required milestones should be stated in the brief. Feasibility and dates are reviewed against product, pack, approvals, availability, transport and clearance before a proposal is confirmed.
