What is being bought
XC Trains Limited (XC) will be conducting a private tender for the purchase of ambient ready meals for the on-board catering offering.
Due to limited space available on-board and limited equipment, XC is looking to introduce an ambient meal for First Class with the view to extend for retail in the future.
Suppliers are required to abide to all relevant UK food standards.
Deliveries need to be made to the following stations: Birmingham New Street, Bristol and Reading.
XC will seek pricing for the following:
- a smaller ambient meal in the style of a starter/tapas - the meal should not require refrigeration or heating before serving with a shelf life higher than 3 months.
- a more substantial option such as a ready meal. This meal may be heated in the on-board microwave. It should require minimal preparation (no decanting of products) and able to be stored at ambient temperature in a self-contained packaging that can be used to serve customers.
- a vegan option will be required for both types of meals
The packaging is required to be at least 85% recyclable.
Please register your interest and inform George Petre by 5PM on 23/04/2023
