Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Food Boxes - Shielded Vulnerable COV19" was initiated by the Defra Network eTendering Portal. This contract, focused on the supply assembly and delivery of food boxes to individuals recognised as shielded vulnerable during the COVID-19 emergency, falls under the services industry category and employs a direct procurement method through a single tender action, given its below-threshold status. The tender period concluded on 27 March 2020, and the contract was awarded on the same date, with a contract duration extending until 3 July 2020. Delivery is required across various regions in the United Kingdom, including London, the North East, and the South East.

This tender presents significant opportunities for large-scale suppliers, particularly in the food distribution sector, as it addresses a critical social need arising from the pandemic. Companies equipped to handle logistics and food supply services would be particularly well-suited to compete for such contracts. The contract value of £208 million indicates a substantial investment, which may attract businesses that can efficiently manage supply chains and delivery logistics on a national scale.
