Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health is seeking a distributor for the School Fruit & Vegetable Scheme, a contract valued at £142 million, which encompasses the supply and distribution of fruits and vegetables. This procurement, classified under the CPV code 15300000 for fruit, vegetables, and related products, is currently complete. The original tender period ended on 30th August 2013, and the contract spanned from 31st August 2013 to 31st March 2017. The procurement method has been noted as 'Other - Not Held centrally'.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses, especially those involved in the food distribution sector. Companies that can meet the requirements for supplying fruits and vegetables across the UK and beyond would be well positioned to compete, particularly larger organisations or those with the capacity to handle substantial contracts. Given the historical nature of the contract, there may be scope for similar opportunities in future projects under the same scheme, which could benefit SMEs and those looking to expand their footprint in the public procurement market.
