Details

This framework offers customers a streamlined route to market for purchasing food items across any or all 6 food categories from suppliers/providers.

It is anticipated that some customers will wish to procure products covering more than one product category (this may include multi-temperature deliveries). The tender documents of the framework identifies 3 ways in which customers can procure multiple product categories:

a) Customers can conduct separate procurement exercises for each relevant category.

b) Customers may utilise Category 7 as described above. This may be a useful option if customers prefer to work with a single supplier.

c) At their own risk, and subject to their own procurement processes and the overall contract value, customers can select one primary category for their core basket and reserve the right to buy items from other categories from the same supplier (where these are available).
