Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process pertains to the Bristol City Council, which has issued a tender titled "Free School Meals Managed Service - Voucher Scheme." This initiative falls under the school meals industry category and is aimed at addressing urgent service needs during the Covid-19 crisis. The tender was completed following a direct award method, with a total value of £490,000. The contract period commenced on 27th March 2020 and concluded on 4th May 2020, with the tender period closing on 25th March 2020. The service was provided within the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents opportunities for large-scale service providers within the school meals sector, particularly those capable of managing voucher schemes swiftly and efficiently. As Bristol City Council sought a temporary solution due to the lack of a central government scheme at the time, businesses specialising in catering and food service management could position themselves favourably. The swift execution of such services can enhance market presence and foster relationships with local authorities, potentially leading to future contracts and collaborations.
