Summary of the contracting process

The Hertfordshire County Council is currently engaged in a pre-procurement market engagement (PPME) process for the supply and delivery of school milk, aimed at supporting the directive for schools to provide milk to pupils. The tender, titled "HCC Nov 2020 - PPME for the Supply and Delivery of School Milk," is positioned within the food supply industry. The procurement process is in the planning stage, with interested suppliers required to submit their Supplier Questionnaire by 12:00 noon on 30th November 2020. The anticipated contract is set to commence on 1st September 2021, following the expiry of the current contract on 31st August 2021. This process is managed by Supply Hertfordshire, located in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, and the current annual spend is approximately £800,000.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in dairy supply and delivery, particularly those that can focus on sustainable practices, as the current contract includes provisions for recyclable packaging. Businesses that specialise in supplying school feeding programmes, milk products, and logistics services would be well-suited to compete in this tender. Participation in the PPME allows potential suppliers to provide feedback and insights that will inform the eventual procurement process, enhancing their understanding of requirements and facilitating valuable relationships with the Council.

Notice Title

HCC Nov 2020 - PPME for the Supply and Delivery of School Milk

Notice Description

Hertfordshire County Council (the "Council") is carrying out pre-procurement market engagement in relation to the requirement for The Supply and Delivery of School Milk. The Coucil supports the government's directive for all schools to provide access to school milk for pupils. The pupils at schools in Hertfordshire currently consume 3 million 189ml size recyclable poly bottles of milk per annum across the nursery and primary schools. As part of the school food plan all maintained primary, infant and junior schools are legally required to make milk available for drinking by the pupils during school hours. School milk, on the present Contract, is currently supplied to 85% of schools across Hertfordshire in 189ml recyclable poly bottles with biodegradable straws. The current Contract expires on 31st August 2021 and the Council will be looking for a new Contract to start on 1st September 2021. The annual spend is currently approximately PS800k pa. This spend includes a small value for staff room and kitchen milk which is also supplied on the current Contract. The present Contract is managed by Hertfordshire Catering Limited (HCL). The challenges ahead include the possible effects of 'Brexit' on the EU subsidy received for infant and junior milk. The Council and HCL will consider the feedback received in the returned PPME questionnaires to help inform their options and further decision making. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and the Council is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process. Participation or non-participation in the PPME shall not prevent any supplier participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the PPME shall place any supplier at an advantage in a potential procurement process. Participation in the PPME will be at each organisation's own cost. No expense in responding to this PPME will be reimbursed by the Council.
